air brakes are released while dynamic brakes satisfy the train brake demand.

Sometimes the train brake controller is capable to apply the dynamic

brakes for the whole consist, usually as a first step before air brakes

are applied. This is usually known as "train blending", as opposed to
2977+
"local" blending which only affects dynamic braking on the locomotive itself.

notch of the train brake controller, where 0 means no dynamic brake and 1 means full dynamic brake::
