Dumb Question

How exactly does dynamic breaking work.From the control stand to the traction motors

This would be a well covered topic here a search would show a few good topics.

Basicly a motor (or anything) turned by the wheels generates electricity. This generated power is burned off in a giant toaster. The toaster’s electrical resistance forces the traction motor to slow down and the train slows.
