A railroad brake stick head has a head body formed of a lightweight durable material. A railroad brake stick head includes a head body having two opposing planar surfaces spaced apart by at least one sidewall that includes at least one concave sidewall region, wherein the head body is formed of a first material having a first hardness. At least one brace implant is at least partially embedded in at least one concave sidewall region, wherein each brace implant is formed of a second material having a second hardness that is harder than the first hardness. The head body includes at least one implant recess formed into the at least one concave sidewall region, and the at least one brace implant is in the at least one implant recess. Each brace implant can be coupled with the head body, such as by friction fit, adhesive, fastener, or combination thereof.
