Systems for Heavy Haul Rail Vehicles Pocket Guide OEM Products Engineered to Outperform www.nyab.com E2O: engineering = 9.5% of gross revenue OEM Products New York Air Brake offers our AAR freight railroad customers products and services that are Engineered to Outperform (E2O). The heavy haul rail industry judges the usefulness of each new technology by tangible, bottom-line results, not by promises. NYAB products are engineered to outperform. Extensive testing done in partnership with the railroads confirms that the benefits of NYAB products are real and substantial. We earn the continued trust of our railroad partners by working hand-in-hand with them as they deploy AAR Worldwide and operate new train control technology.

Headquarters 2 | Engineered to Outperform Systems for Heavy Haul Rail Vehicles | 3 E2O: 8 years’ maintenance = 16 filter changes Oil-Free Compressor NYAB’s clean and green air compressor runs without any oil and will last up to 8 years between rebuilds. Developed by NYAB and Knorr-Bremse’s Air Supply Group, the leading supplier of rail oil-free compressors in the world, oil-free compressors are highly reliable, inexpensive to operate and easy on the environment – the only outputs are a little water and a lot of compressed air. The highly-reliable VV1000T oil-free compressor supplies the air required by the long heavy haul trains common to North America. It fits into the same space envelope as conventional air compressors, and uses the same Absolutely oil-free air mounting interfaces, air filters and existing locomotive No more oil-water emulsion problems control scheme with several drive options. The compressor No oil in air dryer spitter valve provides 185 cfm air at 145 psi pressure, and is optimized for extreme temperature operation from -40° F to 158° F. Improved motor performance – no motor rubbing Longer air dryer life Eliminating oil fouling (coking) leads to less downstream Low noise level – 78 dB contamination of the air brake system, which reduces and simplifies maintenance, resulting in lower life-cycle costs. 25 percent lighter than competition 4 | Engineered to Outperform Systems for Heavy Haul Rail Vehicles | 5 E2O: two years longer service life DB-60 Featuring a zero-leakage design that reduces air usage, the extremely reliable DB-60 control valve delivers the lowest life-cycle costs in the industry. The DB-60 pneumatic control valve has proven to provide up to two years longer service life between maintenance intervals than any other freight car control valve on the market. DB-60 features friction-free, soft-seated poppet valves that ensure high reliability and long life with no UDEs. Patented K-rings provide dynamic sealing to eliminate stiction (cold welding) even in the harshest environments, from -40° to 150° F. With the fastest brake signal transmission of any control valve available, DB-60 can reduce stopping distances by up to 21% without DB-60 with 4-port receiver and access plate increasing in-train forces. DB-60 is available with 4-port automatic single car test capability in both the conventional block style and single- sided pipe bracket configurations. DB-60’s reliability makes it the control valve of choice on a growing installed fleet of more than 455,000 freight cars of the 1.6 million cars in service today throughout North America. 6 | Engineered to Outperform Systems for Heavy Haul Rail Vehicles | 7 E2O: 8.5 years overhaul periods CCB II CCB II (Computer Controlled Brake) is recognized as the industry’s most reliable air brake – The electro-pneumatic control unit (EPCU) (above) responds to the engineer’s handle the data proves it. movements on the electronic brake valve, EBV (below, right). CCB II features advanced self- diagnostics – seven processors continuously monitor system 1 pressures, signals and each other to ensure a safe and reliable system. Modularized line replaceable units 2 (LRUs) provide a 20-minute mean time to repair (MTTR), reducing costs and locomotive downtime. 3 As a result of FRA inspections and close monitoring of performance standards, CCB II qualifies for a best-in-class cost-reducing extended overhaul period of up to 8.5 years.

CCB-26 (shown top right in cover photo), the low-cost, highly reliable replacement for 26L, is especially suited for new low-horsepower, low-emissions switcher locomotives. 8 | Engineered to Outperform Systems for Heavy Haul Rail Vehicles | 9 shortens stopping distances: E2O EP-60 has logged 600 million car miles of revenue service and meets the latest AAR S-4200 specification in all areas, proving to be the industry’s most advanced and reliable ECP package. In summary, EP-60: End-of-Car (EOC) Junction Box Saves fuel Improves safety Reduces equipment wear CCD with Vent Valve Junction Box with Car ID Module Trainline Power Supply Operator Interface Unit EP-60 The EP-60 air brake system’s improved Trainline Communications Controller (TCC) stop distance (up to 70%) saves fuel and allows the safe increase of train speeds for higher line capacity. Graduated application / release and simultaneous, load compensated braking provide faster brake response, decrease in-train forces Trainline Integrity Locomotive for better fuel economy and less lading damage, and reduce Test Device (TILT) track, wheel, shoe and draft gear wear. CCB II – Integrated Electronic Brake Valve ( EBV) EP-60’s wire-based communication over the Echelon LonWorks™ network delivers real-time monitoring and virtually simultaneous EP-60 is available as an overlay installation or in a standalone configuration control of every car in the train. The system’s low air consumption that eliminates service and emergency portions and fits in the same space allows railroads to run longer trains without additional locomotives. envelope as the DB-60. 10 | Engineered to Outperform Systems for Heavy Haul Rail Vehicles | 11 E2O: reduces fuel consumption by 8-12% LEADER LEADER® reduces fuel consumption by up to 8-12 percent while improving train handling, effectively managing schedules and minimizing in-train forces. Lower fuel costs LEADER has been widely deployed on the current PTC Efficient time management platform standard with an advanced plan to integrate Lower in-train forces LEADER content into the PTC operating screen. Today LEADER operates standalone on the PTC computer and utilizes the Longer equipment / track life entire PTC screen to display content.
