This exam involves a thorough examination of all components, mainframes, brake gear, bottom end, suspension etc. In this photo, Carl is tapping the brake blocks with his foot to check they are in contact with the wheels after the straight air brake had been applied to 10psi, during the brake systems tests

Once back over the pit, underneaths inspection takes place of all components, axles, wheels, traction motors, air tanks etc
