The article presents a method of theoretical study by means of electronic calculations, on the propagation of longitudinal forces in very long freight trains or those hauled by multiple units, when the characteristics of couplings between wagons are non-linear. A second locomotive placed in the middle of this type of train considerably reduces the longitudinal dynamic forces when the brakes of the two locomotives are applied simultaneously, and makes it possible to reach normal braking conditions twice as quickly.
