An improved freight brake emergency valve device providing improved stability against undesired emergency brake applications without degradation of emergency sensitivity. This is achieved, in one aspect of the invention, by introducing a spring force on the emergency piston as the piston approaches emergency position to thereby retard the piston momentum sufficiently to allow a random brake pipe pressure fluctuation to dissipate. In another aspect of the invention, a choke and check valve are arranged to create a dashpot effect to retard piston momentum resulting from a random brake pipe pressure fluctuation.
