There are two brake blocks per wheel of the locomotive, and each brake block is actuated by its own cylinder, which obviates rigging (except to the hand parking brake).

Apical uptake was higher than basolateral uptake at 37 degrees C and was decreased to 70% in the presence of NaN(3) or in the absence of extracellular Na(+). Besides alpha2-agonists, apical uptake was inhibited by verapamil, desipramine, and quinidine, but not by MPP(+) (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium), TEA (tetraethylammonium), decynium-22, carnitine, PHA (p-aminohippurate), alanine, or inosine.
