An electromagnetic track brake for a railway vehicle comprises an elongate brake energizing coil, a rigid frame (43), and a plurality of U-shaped braking shoes (23, 24) mounted in a row in the frame. …<??>In order to improve the transmission of braking reaction forces from the shoes to the vehicle each braking shoe (23, 24) is individually movable downwards relative to the frame (43) against spring (29) bias. A tie rod (33) extends along the lower branch of the coil, engaging each of the braking shoes for the transmission of braking reaction forces from the shoes to the tie rod. Means (39) rigid with the vehicle frame (42) is operatively connected to the end of the tie rod to take up the braking reaction forces transmitted to the tie rod. |
