Possible causes for sticking brakes include: Overcharged air brake system. Hand brakes applied. Retaining valve not in EXHAUST position. Leak in the air brake system. Placing the automatic brake handle in the release position while the brake pipe reduction is still exhausting. An insufficient brake pipe reduction to ensure proper release. 2, record 1, English, - sticking%20brake
