air compressor drives the brakes open.
battery energizes a safety solenoid.
battery dies, compressor loses pressure, the brakes close.
1950's tech, but we know better in 2023.

I thought they were required to have a pressurized vessel to keep maintain pressure?

powerful springs are used to keep the brakes closed, the air is used to force them open. the vessel is just to maintain consistent pressure -- if it's destroyed or loses pressure, the springs will take over and the brakes close.
