Freight Brake Shoes

Anchor Brake Shoe offers AAR M-926 certified ValueSaver™ and ChangeSaver™ high friction composition freight car shoes, proven to perform well in today’s heavy haul environment.

Only Anchor’s AAR M-997 certified, tread conditioning BEST WheelSaver™ freight car brake shoe offers a stable coefficient of friction throughout the full range of braking applications coupled with 100% shoe face wheel conditioning capabilities. Our semi-metallic friction material outlasts other tread conditioning products and dramatically decreases wheel set removals attributable to high kip readings. The WheelSaver™ brake shoe is available in 1.5″ and 2″ thicknesses.

Our 1.5” thick AAR M-996 certified L2 low friction freight car shoe is a direct replacement for cast iron brake shoes.
