Answer: Both intentional and undesired emergency brake applications need to be reported.
Feedback:
Whether intentional or undesired, emergency brake applications that occur while the train is moving must be reported to the train dispatcher. They are considered en route delays. Any undesired emergency brake applications that occur during normal service braking ("kickers," or "dynamiters") must be reported to the NOC Mechanical Help Desk as an air brake defect.
