The invention for the operative monitoring of track brakes, according to which an electric current passes through a winding of a brake magnet, measures the electric current (i2, i4) and compares the temporal progression of the measured current (i2, i4) with a saved temporal progression of a reference current (i1, i3). In particular, the comparison is achieved by claculating the difference between the measured current and the reference current. Preferably, the difference between the measured current and the reference current is temporally integrated and compared with a threshold value. To determine a magnetic coupling between the track brake and the track, a calculation is made as to whether the measured current has local minima (e min) and/or local maxima (e max) during the activation of the track brake, only the temporal progression of the measured current as said current increases being subjected to a comparison with the reference current. The current is preferably activated in pulses, with the comparison of the measured current and the reference current being restarted with each pulse.
