[edit] Corrections
"Individually operated car brakes were replaced with automatic air brakes" Not Correct the writer should have said something like "remotely controlled brakes". Air brakes are designed to fail-safe automatically but to be operated manually in normal use (usually from the loco but controls are often provided at other points on the train) . 77.97.161.230 14:48, 24 August 2007 (UTC)mikeL ,who will be accused if nit-picking
ps. maybe they were not 'replaced with' but were 'replaced by'
pps. the article Vacuum brake has a much better treatment of the topic so this article is really redundant —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.161.230 (talk) 14:48, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
- Vacuum brake is about one type of brake equipment, this article is about the job of brakeman. Your last comment makes it sound like this article should be removed, and I disagree with that. However, as to the points of automatic versus remotely controlled, and replaced with versus replaced by, this is a case of WP:BOLD; as I understand the braking systems work in the way you describe, so make the correction ({{sofixit}}).
