What is Brake van?
'''Brake van''' and '''guard's van''' are terms used mainly in the [[UK]] and [[Australia]] for a [[Rolling stock|railway vehicle]] that has a [[hand brake]] which can be applied by the [[Conductor (transportation)|guard]]. The equivalent [[North America]]n term is [[caboose]] but a British brake van and a caboose are very different in appearance because the former usually has only four wheels while the latter usually has [[bogie]]s.
