Field investigations into the performance of magnetic track brakes of an electrical multiple unit against slippery tracks. Part 2: Braking force and side effects

Part II of the field investigations focuses on the braking force and some possible side effects of the frequent use of magnetic track brakes (MTBs) against slippery tracks. In part I, the adhesion recovery using MTBs along contaminated rails has been presented. Field tests have been performed with the permanent...
