... 42 Test Rack Data Representing a Train in Pneumatic Mode with Rear DP Many trains are run with a DP locomotive at the rear of the train in lieu of an EOT device. If an emergency brake application is initiated by an air hose separation that occurs in the rear half of the train, on detection of loss of BPP the rear DP locomotive transmits a signal to the lead locomotive.
