Abstract
A system for automatically performing a bail off of the locomotive brakes in response to certain train braking operations without the need for the train operator to manually bail off the locomotive brakes. The system includes a controller that is programmed to determine when an appropriate train braking operation has been requested and to issue commands to the locomotive braking system to cause the locomotive brake cylinder to be reduced to zero pressure or a predetermined minimum pressure. The controller is also programmed to determine when an automatic bail off should be inhibited and/or cancelled depending on ongoing train conditions.
