ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An insert for a railroad brake shoe having a support plate engageable complementally with a portion of the shoe back. Means are provided for preventing the lateral and longitudinal displacement of the insert relative to the brake head assembly. A guide is cantilevered from one side of the support plate and so configured to generally complementally fit the flange of the wheel, thereby to guide the shoe into aligned contact with the wheel tread when the brake is applied. The insert (with or without the guide) may be of a material having a friction coefficient comparable to (but not significantly less than) that of the shoe; or a part of the brake head may be modified to have this frictional characteristic.
