Mountain Brake Shoe BТГ-1 for Effective Railway Transport Braking

The braking shoe on railway transport is used for effective braking of a wagon or groups of wagons (detachments) and other types of rolling stock on station and approach tracks, as well as for securing them against sudden movement (escape).
