Summary:A rail vehicle pneumatic brake system (10) comprises a brake supply reservoir (14), a main pipe (12) and at least one air-applied air brake (18) controlled by electro-pneumatic control valve means (20). The system is further provided with at last one spring-applied parking brake (30) fed from the main pipe. A rescue pipe (40) is inserted in the system. Air brake release valve means (42, 421, 422) are connected to the rescue pipe for isolating the brake supply reservoir from the electro-pneumatic control valve means and venting the air brake cylinder when pressure is available in the rescue pipe and for connecting the brake supply reservoir to the electro-pneumatic control valve means when no pressure is available in the rescue pipe. Similarly, a shuttle valve (38) is provided between the main pipe, the rescue pipe and the spring-applied parking brake cylinder to release the spring-applied parking brake whenever pressure is available either in the main pipe or in the rescue pipe.
