[CBQ] More airbrake stuff...electric air

While you're on a roll tell us about the "electric air" used on the  
Zephyrs....
 
Is it still used on passenger trains???   Seems like it would  have been 
easier to use than the automatic air, but is this really so.   Also would it 
cause 
a problem for an engineer to switch between electric and  automatic air on 
the same run.
 
IIRC there were very strict rules which applied if the electric air went  bad 
order and the engineer had to revert to the automatic between  terminals.
