ABTH 100.8

Answer: 5 psi and 5 psi

Feedback:
It is not always practical to have an employee at the rear of the train to verify the brakes apply and release on the last car, so other methods are in place to assist. The drop of 5 psi on the rear indicates the brakes are set and the increase in 5 psi verifies the release.
