ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE . In a railway tank car bottom outlet lading valve as- sembly, an operating handle assembly for the lading valve in- cludes an operating shaft extending vertically within a lading outlet chamber. The shaft is provided with a non-round shaft tool connection portion near the bottom thereof. An operating handle is pivotably mounted on the outlet chamber adjacent the non-round connection portion. The operating handle includes a handle non-round connection portion which engages the shaft non- round connection portion. A handle-storing bracket for the distal end of the operating handle is mounted upon the tank body ox on an upper mounting flange portion of the outlet chamber adjacent a tank car bottom outlet mounting flange. The bracket is preferably U-shaped and includes a removable pin extending between opposite arms of the U-shaped bracket. When the pin is removed from the mounting bracket, the handle may be pivoted to a generally horizontal position to rotate the shaft through engagement of the handle non-round portion with the shaft non- round portion, and thus move the lading valve between open and closed positions. After use, the distal end of the handle may be returned to the stored position in the handle storing bracket with the pin back in place.
