Brake Pipe Train. The locomotive compressor charges the feed. The brake pipe serves as the communication channel for the engineer to control the brakes. They are designed to stop or slow down a train by applying pressure to the wheels. the control of the distributor is achieved by varying the pressure in a second pipe called the brake pipe, which is connected to a brake valve in the drivers cab. train air brakes are an essential feature of any railway system. in its simplest form, the automatic vacuum brake consists of a continuous pipe—the train pipe—running throughout the length. train brakes consist of several components, including brake shoes or pads, brake cylinders, brake pipes, and brake rigging. in air brake system compressed air is used for operating the brake system. Compressed air is stored in a reservoir and distributed through a brake pipe that runs the length of the train.
