Which braking system is the ultimate level of slide-controlled braking derived from multiple independently controlled brakes and is recoverable?

Which braking system is the ultimate level of slide-controlled braking derived from multiple independently controlled brakes and is recoverable?

• A. Emergency
• B. Emergency Braking
• C. Electric Switch Lock
• D. Energize

Answer: (B)

Emergency Braking is the strongest slide-controlled braking mode, pulling full braking effort from all independently controlled brake units across the train to maximize deceleration. It’s designed to be recoverable—once the hazard is cleared, you can release the brake command and resume normal braking. The other terms refer to different systems or generic actions, not the coordinated, maximum-brake state described here.
