A rail car hand brake locking system utilizes a connection member and a securing body. The connection member has an aperture near each distal end. The securing body has a head end capable of securing around a portion of an actuating wheel of the hand brake and a connection end capable of securing to the connection member, which is then affixed to the hand brake housing. The system prevents unauthorized usage of the hand brake.
