Why were air brakes for trains made?
I assume air brakes on trucks and trains are similar. 1 - It doesn't freeze. 2 - Allows massive pressure differential with large "slave cylinders". 3 - Tolerant of leaks. 4 - Robust system for trailer interconnects. A hydraulic system would risk air bubbles at the interconnects. 5 - Relatively simple design.
