Rdso Technical Pamphlet G-73 Official

G-73 doesn’t just calculate brake distance; it mathematically accounts for loco pilot reaction time (approx. 1.5 to 2 seconds). At 130 km/h, in that blink of an eye, the train travels ~70 meters. G-73 ensures the brake cylinders are sized to compensate for this human delay.
