Abstract
Disclosed is a rail braking system including a detection and storage device designed to receive first information representing the position of a device for locking a service brake piston, to receive second information representing the supply of a service brake pressure chamber with a pneumatic pressure agent, to deduce information representing the application of a parking brake from the first and second information, and to store the deduced information; as a result of which the information representing the application of the parking brake is kept even if the service brake pressure chamber is no longer supplied with the pneumatic pressure agent.
