Correct Answer:
Train brake release and the system recharges
Explanation:
Moving the automatic brake to the release position accomplishes two things: the train brakes are released, and the system recharges. When you release, the brake cylinders vent and the brake pipe pressure is restored, allowing the brakes to come off. At the same time, the air system recharges—the compressors refill the reservoirs and bring the brake pipe back up to running pressure—so the system is ready for the next braking event.
