    Patent number: 6520298
    Abstract: A railroad track brake in which a piston track brake is shifted out of an active state into an inactive state by a track-brake lowering device with a length of structural section extending along the piston track brake and having drag bars attached thereto while engaging the piston track brake. The active and inactive states are produced without contacting the housing of the piston track brake, and the braking process is free of acceleration forces. The drag bars contact the piston track brake only when it is in an inactive state to prevent acceleration forces.
