ABSTRACT:
A device for maintaining the proper lateral position of brake shoes with respect to the wheels of a locomotive. An adjusting bar is used to adjust the distance between the pull rod of the brakes and a bracket supported by the safety strap. A supporting axle has a locomotive wheel on each end so that there is a wheel on each rail. Each wheel has a brake which is provided with an adjuster bar. There is thus a left and a right adjuster bar. A tie bar extends from the left adjuster member to the right adjuster member to keep the brake shoes aligned with the respective wheels after there is wear in the various linkage connections.
