In a preferred embodiment, a multiple axle railway vehicle truck has axle and wheel assemblies mounted with relatively large lateral clearances to provide for lateral movement when negotiating sharp curves. The brake rigging is provided with stabilizing means adapted to normally maintain the brake shoes in a desired nominal position relative to the frame so as to be properly aligned with the wheel treads in their centered axle positions, the stabilizing means being resiliently yieldable to permit any of the brake shoes to be deflected outwardly when they are contacted by their respective wheel flanges upon a sufficient lateral movement of the their respective axles.
