Single car test interface device

A single car test device for a rail car brake system having a brake pipe with a connector, a brake cylinder, brake cylinder tap, a reservoir, a control valve connected to the brake pipe, the brake cylinder and the reservoir, and brake pipe and reservoir test ports on the control valve, the test device comprising:

• a housing;
• a source port, on the housing, to be connected to a source of pressurized air;
• a brake pipe port, on the housing, to be connected to the brake pipe connector;
• valves, in the housing, selectively interconnecting the ports to each other and atmosphere to perform tests;
• a brake cylinder sensor to be connected to the brake cylinder tap;
• a sensor module, remote from the housing, to be mounted on the test ports on the control valve for determining pressure at the test ports;
• and
• a controller connected to the valves, the sensor module and the brake cylinder sensor and including a program performing a plurality of component tests which form a single car test.
