ABSTRACT:
A brake beam wear plate for mounting in brake beam guide brackets of railroad car truck side frames having side walls of varying thicknesses to define a slideway for the brake beam lugs providing a sloppy fit and a path of movement to obtain the ideal clasping angle and alignment for the brake shoes with the wheels, and thereby produce better train handling during braking, and uniform wearing of the shoes to enhance shoe life and reduce maintenance.
