Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method for incorporating a feedback mechanism (24) into a train railcar wheel braking system (10) to regulate applied braking force. The feedback mechanism (24) provides information to an electronically controlled pneumatic braking system (10) sufficient to detect impending wheel slip or skid. Responsive to the wheel slip/skid information, a brake control processor (18) modulates the braking force applied to the train railcar wheel system to enable the braking system (10) to apply a braking force without damaging the railcar wheel system or rails over which the railcar wheels are traveling.
