Abstract :
The increasing prominence of the diesel-electric locomotive on American railroads has given new impetus to the use of dynamic braking. A recent refinement of braking control takes advantage of additional traction-motor capacity available at low speeds and service tests have shown the operational and economic value of this form of braking.
