Brake bars or anti-rotation bars or torque bars.

The brake is attached to the bogie using the same axle as the wheel assy. However it is free to rotate. The brake bars stop this rotation. There are 4, one for each wheel/brake. There is a fitting at the lower part of the brake which the bar is attached to and its other end is attached to a fixed part of the bogie assy.
