Today, almost all braking of trains moving at speed is done using the train brake system which activates (air) brakes along the length of the entire rake. The loco brake system is not used for bringing the train to a halt. However, as soon as the train comes to a halt, most drivers switch immediately to the loco brake system to hold the train at a standstill, and release the train brakes so as to give the system the maximum time to recharge. In the instants between releasing the train brakes and applying the loco brakes after the train has been brought to a standstill, the train may sometimes move a small amount if the place where it has been stopped is on a gradient.
