ABSTRACT:
A wear plate is disclosed herein for use in a railway car center sill to prevent or minimize wearing of the upper bearing surface of each of the horizontal key slots, due to the rubbing action of a draft key. The wear plate includes an elongated wear face which is positioned between the upper bearing surface and key and covers the upper bearing surface. At least one upwardly-extending flange is provided for securing the wear plate to the center sill and for maintaining the wear face in position to protect the upper bearing surface.
