It is amazing how 95% of the parts haven't changed in 40 years.

I am a tractor/trailer driving instructor for the USAF. Although this video is almost 50 years old, I still use it as a training aid. Some things have changed over the years, but the concept is still the same.

@qazwas2001 MANY parts have changed and are different. I have just taken the AirBrake course.

3:40 Westinghouse self lubricating compressor. Bullet proof back in the day!! I still have 3 in my inventory (new old stock) Going to use for gas powered compressor units.

Except that my brakes operate on release of pressure, not by the pressure itself. If I lose pressure, my brakes are applied and I can't move. I believe that's true of all modern air brake systems.
