An isolation valve device for a hydraulic brake system of a railway vehicle including passageways via which hydraulic pressure communication is established between a pressure controller and the brake units of each truck of a railway vehicle, and a bore to receive a pair of piston valves adapted to interrupt hydraulic pressure communication in a respective one of the passageways leading to the different truck brake units, when a pressure differential occurs therebetween, due to a ruptured brake line at one of the trucks, for example, causing a hydraulic fluid leak thereat.
