"Pressure Tap"
Author: TTownTrains

I saw this stenciled on more than one SATX coal car yesterday. What is it telling me?

Thanks.

More like for measuring brake cylinder pressure during a standing air brake test. Testing the brake system on a car is done via the brake pipe with either a locomotive or a single car test device.
