Re: [CBQ] Dynamic Brakes

["John Olson" <trains28@jimsjunction.com>]

Thanks Jerry,

   I was pretty sure that a non-DB unit would not be able to activate the DB's on other units since it would not be equipped with the proper controls. I was more interested in non-DB units in the middle of a consist, and what effects that would have on the other DB equipped units trailing it.

John,

My understanding is that only a locomotive equipped with dynamic brakes can activate them, therefore, the GP's would not be able to control the dynamic brakes on a locomotive so equipped.

     I have a question. Since all of the Q's freight F-units (including
FT's) were delivered with Dynamic Brakes and none of the GP-7's or
GP-9's were- when the 'Q' spliced one or more of these GP's in the
middle of a 4-unit set of F's, for extra horsepower, could the Dynamic
Brakes still be used... and would it  activate on all four of the F-units?
