If you want to know a braking distance do a test run. Pick a scenario where you know you'll have a good long run up, get up to your desired speed and then pick a marker, either a signal or station where you get the distance on screen When you get to a certain distance away, say 900yards, apply the brakes on your chosen setting, say notch 2 DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING you should then see how long it takes to grind to a halt or can work it out from how far before (or after) your stop or station you go as saltychipz#3569 says, this will change depending on rail conditions and gradient. Going uphill you will stop faster and going downhill you may not stop at all!
Braking on notch 2, the distances are (and this is a guideline, depends on grade and stuff): 50mph --> 400yd 60mph --> 550yd 70mph --> 750yd 80mph --> 900yd 90mph --> 0.8mi
