<p>An electrically-energized eddy current and hysteresis brake for track bound vehicles having improved braking and heat dissipation characteristics. A plurality of electromagnets are arranged longitudinally of the track, each magnet being comprised of a pair of spaced pole branches extending perpendicularly away from the track, a coil core extending parallel to and spaced from the track and a coil around the core having an axial length in the space between the pole branches and the track substantially less than the coil length on the sides and portion of the coil core remote from the track.</p> |
