In this video, we look at an overview to how air brakes work on trains, for an audience that knows nothing about them. I know that you air brake gurus out there will notice things like me not even discussing the equalizing reservoir or not talking into too many nuances, but I wanted to ensure that someone who isn't too familiar could get to a good level of understanding how things work generally... we'll nerd out down the road :)
Sorry about the darn audio quality in the beginning again. I know what the problem is, unfortunately it's not an easy fix. Long story short, don't buy anything from Universal Audio if you use Windows.
