ATR-6 brake relay traction valve

Do you like trains? If so, you might find something incredibly special being called the ATR-6 Brake Relay Traction Valve. It is a great device that helps with the safety of the trains as well as smooth operation on the tracks. Let's dig into how it works! 

Ever think about how a train stops? It isn't quite so simple as just hitting a button, like you might have a toy. Stopping a train is a complex effect whose very idea depends on coordination of many parts. But it's got to stop in a safe and smooth way, which is critical for everyone in it.

Ultimate Control on the Rails with ATR-6 Brake Relay Traction Valve

One important part of this process is the ATR-6 Brake Relay Traction Valve. It must train its drivers, or conductors, to better control the brakes. This tool allows them to stop the train in an instant or slow down when they want to. They have a little bit of helpful magic button they can hit for more control! 

Prior to the invention of the VIT ATR-6 traction relay valve, trains used a different method. They took advantage of wires and cables to send signals from the driver to the brakes on each and every single car. It wasn’t a particularly quick or dependable method. At times, the brakes would hold up, which made it extremely difficult to stop the train in an emergency.
