More Information
Summary:An electromagnetic rail brake for railroad vehicles travelling on rails equipped with inductive signal control and having sensors located laterally and below the top surface of a rail has a rod of ferromagnetic material attached thereto with the rod extending the length of the magnet pole pieces. The rod is positioned laterally and downwardly with respect to the faces of the pole pieces toward the sensors. In this position, the rod is a conductor for any stray magnetic fields emanating from the rail brake or the sensors.
