ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for applying lubricant to a railroad vehicle wheel flange utilizes a solid lubricant material. The block of lubricant is wedge-shaped and mounts to one side of the brake shoe. The lubricant wedges between the wheel flange and the brake shoe. The block of lubricant is secured to a plate that sandwiches between the brake shoe pads and the beam head of the braking system. A cantilevered, resilient loop urges the block into engagement with the flange.
