ABSTRACT:
Two beams of a railway car retarder which are located on opposite sides of a track rail are provided with brake shoes in the form of segments. The segments are positioned in recesses on the inside longitudinal sides of the beams. The recesses are separated from one another by web ribs. The segments are form-closed with the longitudinal recesses of the beams and fixedly located therein. By means of this braking system the squeaking sounds arising during the braking operation are substantially reduced.
