ELECTROPNEUMATIC BRAKE. COST OF FITTING WAGONS WITH THE ELECTROPNEUMATIC BRAKE

The costs have been estimated for fitting: the automatic type of brake with two brake pipes, and the direct-acting type with one 1 1/4" pipe by the CFF, the DB, the FS and the SNCF. This report contains the results of the studies then carried out by the Committee to ascertain the cost of fitting wagons with the electropneumatic brake. It should be mentioned that the systems are basically the same on all the administrations, but the actual application differs due to the great diversity of equipment used. Because of this, and also owing to the differences in costs, there are certain discrepancies between the estimates.
