TWS2020 PS4 The HUD shows BP and EQ gauges, with two needles each. There is a section in the manual with an explanation of sorts, but I don't understand one bit of it. They're on the HUD, so I reckon they're important. Can somebody please explain in plain English what these gauges show, and what one can do with the readings? If it's locomotive dependent preferably for the F40 PH-2 or the GP38-2.
I’ve included a few links below with info on locomotive braking systems. The first link is to some wikipedia info that looks pretty good to me- sort of a long read, but it has some good info in there along with supporting pictures. The second two links include info from actual railroad-related docs... always nice to find those. Hope this helps... you can search the forums here for more info on these braking systems- youtube should have some decent videos on it as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_air_brake https://www.wplives.org/forms_and_documents/Air_Brake_Principles.pdf https://www.nyab.com/media/nyab_1/documents_1/technical/instructionpamphletsip/ip_074.pdf
The Railroad museum document is particularly interesting: easy to read yet very detailed. Thanks for the great links!
