Definition of unbraked

2 senses · 2 parts of speech · etymology included

adj

  1. (not-comparable)Not fitted with brakes.
    “A "passenger/goods" cock is provided in each cab, by which, when placed in the "goods" position, the normal proportional brake application is slowed down. This is for use when hauling an unbraked or partially braked train, and prevents the unbraked stock from running into the locomotive or braked portion of the train with violence.”
    “The Modernisation Plan of 1955 forecast the brake-fitting of all goods wagons; but the majority of mineral wagons remain loose-coupled and unbraked and a four-axle locomotive of Type 3 or 4 power is, therefore, unsuitable for heavy mineral work - without a fitted "head" on the train - because of inadequate braking power.”
