Air Brake Trial Marks First Use in 1869
From the Engineering Magazine the trial of the air brake on the Steuben accommodation between Pittsburgh and Steubenville in April 1869 ended in a dramatic save when the engineer, while approaching a stopped wagon, activated the air brake and brought the train to a halt just in time. The moment impressed observers as the brake proved its effectiveness at speed. The Santa Fe line brokers claim credit for a ticketing concession affecting May tickets, with a 90 day limit for Jamestown exposition dates, while other western roads fought for longer limits.
