ABSTRACT:
A retarder, suitable for reducing the speed of a wagon rolling along a railway track, includes a retainer, which is adapted to be secured upon or adjacent a rail of the track, and an hydraulic unit which is fitted in the retainer. A portion of the unit normally projects from the retainer thus to lie in the path of a wheel of the wagon so as to be engageable by that wheel. The portion is movable inwardly of the retainer to a position, out of the path, in which it permits the wheel to pass the retarder. The retarder includes holding mechanism for maintaining the portion in that position.
