			== Notes ==

			Due to how the {{Icon\|Track_Slow\|Tools & Items#Brake track}} [[Tools & Items#Brake track\|Brake track]] slowdown formula works, and because it takes 3 regular tracks to craft a {{Icon\|Track_Slow\|Tools & Items#Brake track}} [[Tools & Items#Brake track\|Brake track]], it is most optimal to save brake tracks until the train is going at least 1.0m/s before using any. Before this speed it is more efficient to use regular tracks.

See {{Icon\|Track_Slow\|Tools & Items#Brake track}} [[Tools & Items#Brake track\|Brake track]] for details.

	~~The actual speed reduction of the brake~~ track scales with speed. When the base train speed is at 0.01m/s, the train speed on the brake tracks is the same as on the normal tracks. However, when the train speed reaches 0.4m/s, the speed reduction becomes 50%, and at 1.0m/s, the speed reduction becomes 30%, meaning it would give your team more time than just placing down 3 tracks.

Note that this is not the same as the slow down track in the custom map mode which can actively and permanently reduce the speed of the train.

	Since the resource conversion rate is 3 to 1, this wagon is very resource inefficient. In terms of speed reduction: say the train speed is x seconds per meter; placing 3 normal tracks down would give you 3x seconds, whereas converting them and then place one brake track down would only give you 1.2x seconds. In order words, looping is much more efficient for buying your team time.		Since the resource conversion rate is 3 to 1, this wagon is very resource inefficient.

	However, when the train speed is incredibly fast and the track placer is having problems keeping up, and your team has a lot of resources/normal tracks to spare, then using this wagon could be beneficial. You can also craft and store some brake tracks while the train is slow, and then use this stash when the train gets fast.
