Abstract
A brake shoe key for attaching a railroad car brake shoe to a brake head has a stop which engages the brake head to limit the insertion of the key into the brake head's keyway. The stop is located on the key so that when it engages the brake head the knee of the key will engage the lug of the brake shoe and the tang of the key will be spaced from the brake head. This correctly positions the key for retaining the brake shoe while leaving space between the tang and brake head to permit access with a prying tool for subsequent safe removal of the key.
