Abstract
A system for operating a locomotive parking brake includes a wheel brake, a coupling connected to the wheel brake, and means for applying force to the coupling. A sensor connected to the coupling measures a force applied to the coupling and generates a signal reflective of the force applied to the coupling. A method for operating a locomotive parking brake includes applying a force to a coupling connected to a wheel brake, measuring the force applied to the coupling, and comparing the force applied to the coupling to a first predetermined limit. The method further includes indicating that the force applied to the coupling is equal to or greater than the first predetermined limit.
