One aspect of the invention relates to a method comprising the steps of: - providing a computer controlled brake (14) having a first magnet valve (54) that can selectively couple an actuating pipe (42) to atmosphere, thereby preventing any pressurisation of the actuating pipe and a subsequent release of a locomotive automatic brake and a second magnetic valve (64) that can selectively pressurize an independent application and release pipe (44), thereby keeping a brake cylinder pressure in a locomotive independent brake applied and preventing a loss in the locomotive independent brake, the method being characterized by further comprising the steps of: - receiving an operator input indicating a consist swap is desired; and - using the computer controlled brake to operate the first magnet valve to couple the actuating pipe to atmosphere and to operate the second magnet valve to pressurize independent application and release pipe in order to thus enable performing a consist swap without a risk of rollaway. A further aspect of the invention relates to an electronic air brake system, which is configured to perform said method.
