Project Title:
A. Project Abstract: (Refer to the detailed information located in the proposal/letter of intent)

My capstone project is going to be over how train brakes work and the different types of train brakes. I found this topic
Interesting because it would be informative to know how a train stops in comparison to a car brake. This topic got my attention
Because I personally love trains. I one day want to be able to drive a train for a living because I just love the way they look, how
They operate and everything about them. During this project, I will go more into detail of how train brakes work and the different types.
