vagon/(coadă) vagon cu comandă de frână/cabină Explanation: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/english-to-italian/tech-engineeri... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_railway_brake_van#Late... A brake van, on a train, is a wagon at the rear of a goods train where a guard would sit with a hand brake. The job of this wagon was to provide extra braking force for a train and as an emergency hand brake, should an unfitted train become uncoupled from the locomotive and become a runaway train. All brake vans served the same purpose: to supplement brake-force to a train. Brake vans are operated by the Guard, a member of staff on the train, who is in charge of making sure that the lights are in the correct place. This is because a signalman would need to see the tail-lamp to know that the train had not split, so that he can clear the line. Example sentence(s):

This is because a signalman would need to see the tail-lamp to know that the train had not split, so that he can clear the line.[1] Most vans had both normal brakes and vacuum brakes. They also contained a fire for the comfort of the Guard. |
