What is Air Flow Method for Train Brake Testing about?

Railroad freight train brake systems must meet specific criteria for safe operation, including pressure and leakage limits. The Air Flow Method (AFM) has been adopted by Canadian railways since 1978 as an alternative leakage test, allowing for better operation in cold weather and continuous monitoring. Extensive experience with the AFM has shown no safety issues, enabling longer train operations and receiving positive feedback from train crews.
