I believe they are still using the Westinghouse in the US for freights but stand to be corrected.Much more skill required with it,especially with long trains.I was merely comparing UK to US practice,not the rest of the World.

Correct, and Wabtec has continued its development over the years.
Every train handles different, so you are always on your toes. Every day you learn new tricks and ways to run trains, from 20 cars, to 200 cars. I will say, I prefer 50+ cars over 5 cars any day of the week! Handles much better, regardless of how long it takes to build air or recover air. Just got to know your terrain and where you can knock em off and let them charge. Use of dynamic braking helps with this as well!

Anyways, that's going off topic.
