The present invention relates to a linear brake assembly for a rail truck, comprising: a brake mechanism, the brake mechanism comprising at least one air brake, the air brake comprising at least a pressurized air chamber; a linear brake pad, the linear brake pad moveable between an extended position and a retracted position via operation of the brake mechanism, the extended position having the linear brake pad in contact with a rail and the retracted position having the linear brake pad not in contact with the rail; the linear brake pad defaulting to an extended position and moving to and from the retracted position via operation of the brake mechanism; wherein movement of the linear brake pad is performed via adjustment of air pressure within the pressurized air chamber of the air brake.
