A few things are changed on the miniature train for the way down: the locomotive is placed at the front of the train, and there is a brakeman at the back of each car to help the engine keep the train under control. I bought a first class ticket to see how it was different, which turned out to be a wise decision; first class is at the rear of the train, as far from the thick coal smoke as possible. This man would turn the levers on a wheel brake, a chain brake (there was a third serrated rail, and each car had a chain that locked into it), and then there is the emergency vaccuum brake, which is the yellow pipe on the left hand side.
