Abstract
An improvement in mounting brake shoes on disk brakes for railroad cars in which securing member is mounted beneath the open ended groove in the brake assembly to which the shoe is mounted. The securing member moves a predetermined longitudinal distance after being unbolted from the brake assembly, is pivotable relative thereto. The securing member has an anchoring pin protruding therefrom on which a brake shoe may rest as it is being lowered from the brake assembly so that a single person can change a heavy brake shoe without fear of injury.
