Brakeman
<space=1em><b>Carriage conductor</b>
<space=1em>Brakeman (carriage <nobr>conductor) —</nobr> a person responsible for actuating the brakes of a train carriage. They worked on passenger and freight trains from the first years of the appearance of railways until <nobr>the 1950s–1960s.</nobr>
<space=1em>The words of the famous song “Wait, locomotive, don’t knock, wheels, conductor, press the brakes” are impeccable from a railway point of view.
<space=1em><b>Manual braking</b>
<space=1em>The brakeman’s workplace —</nobr> an open area at the end of the carriage, where he was obliged to remain throughout the entire journey of the train in any weather. The job consisted of the brakeman manually using a brake lever (later a screw) to press the brake shoes against the wheels upon a signal from the locomotive. This is how the train slowed down and stopped. Of course, it was not just one person, and the number of brakemen was calculated based on the number of cars in the train, but this did not make the job any easier — the physical force required was enormous.
<space=1em><b> No longer needed</b>
<space=1em>Since the late 1950s, with the advent of pneumatic brakes and automatic couplings, the profession of a carriage conductor or brakeman has become a thing of the past. Today, the train conductor is responsible for checking the automatic brakes, and his profession has transformed some of the responsibilities of three obsolete railway professions — a coupler, a brakeman, and a switchman.
