MR: (Main Reservoir ):-
Details : The compressor on the locomotive charges the main reservoir with air at 125–140 psi (8.6–9.7 bar; 860–970 kPa). The train brakes are released by admitting air to the train pipe through the engineer's brake valve. A fully charged brake pipe is typically 70–90 psi (4.8–6.2 bar; 480–620 kPa) for freight trains and 110 psi (7.6 bar; 760 kPa) for passenger trains. The brakes are applied when the engineer moves the brake handle to the "service" position, which causes a reduction in pressure in the train pipe.

Well the info is from Railways Site ELECTRIC LOCO TRAINING CENTRE USLAPUR, S.E.C.RAILWAY, according that MCPA charges RS/MR
for startup its baby compressor.
once pantograph is connected and over head electricity available main compressor is started and there after it is used for charging.

There is 'Lift Here' written on the left and right side of locomotives and coaches. What does that exactly specify? I have wondered all these years why it is written.
