A rail brake includes a rigid enclosure which mounts under a crane so as to dispose the base end of the enclosure over and adjacent a rail. A spring carriage is mounted for vertical translation within the enclosure. Springs are mounted between the spring carriage and the top of the enclosure so that the springs are compressed when the spring carriage is elevated. A brake shoe is mounted under the carriage. Actuators are mounted between the spring carriage and the base end of the enclosure. Extension of the actuators compress the springs and elevate the brake shoe from the rail. Retraction allows the springs to drive the brake shoe against the rail. Elevation of the brake shoe aligns a pair of spline joints between the sides of the brake shoe and corresponding channel walls underneath the enclosure. Removable elongate keys provide the locking splines in the pair of spline joints.
