Quickly to Emergency position and leave it there until the train stops. Lift the red cover of the Emergency Switch and activate the emergency valve on the ETD.

Answer: Quickly to Emergency position and leave it there until the train stops. Lift the red cover of the Emergency Switch and activate the emergency valve on the ETD.

Feedback:
Quickly move the automatic brake valve to the Emergency position. While doing this, use the independent brake to develop desired brake cylinder pressure to help control slack. On conventional trains, activate the emergency valve on the ETD. By doing this, the emergency applications will start from both ends of the train, and move through the train faster, rather than waiting for it to travel from the head end all the way to the rear end.
