Register now to take both classes for a total of $800 instead of spending $500 for each individual class ($1000 total).

Designed to teach all aspects of EPIC locomotive air brake equipment, this course details the operating principles of EPIC control portion operation as well as the functions of each component. The class will include demonstrations using an EPIC Locomotive Air Brake Simulator and will detail air brake equipment setup and integration as well as equipment testing, maintenance procedures and the use of Diagnostics Maintenance Terminal Software/Remote Session to aid in troubleshooting. The session also includes a tour of the WABCO Locomotive Products production facility.
