Abstract: A draft gear assembly is disclosed alone and in combination with a draft sill and a coupler. The draft sill has front and rear stops defining a draft gear pocket. The draft gear assembly has a yoke, a coupler follower, a rear follower, a front resilient member and a back resilient member. The yoke has top and bottom stops. The coupler follower is biased against the yoke top and bottom stops. The draft gear assembly also includes a center rod that extends through the yoke, through the back resilient member and through the rear follower. Prior to installation on a railcar, there is a shortening member on the center rod. The length of the assembly between the shortening member and the front of the coupler follower is slightly less than the longitudinal length of the draft gear pocket. After installation, the rear follower is positioned against rear stops of the draft sill. After installation, the yoke, coupler and coupler follower each have a neutral position and a full buff position. The yoke and coupler also have a full draft position. The draft stroke of the coupler and yoke is 1¼ inches forward. The buff stroke of the coupler and coupler follower is at least 4¼ inches rearward, while the buff stroke of the yoke is 3 inches rearward. The center rod is free from compression throughout buff movement and free from tension throughout draft movement of the coupler and yoke.

Abstract: A railway car truck is provided that includes two sideframes and a bolster. Each sideframe has a pedestal opening at each end to receive a bearing adapter assembly. The pedestal opening is formed by a roof section that includes a pad receiving opening. The bearing adapter assembly includes a cast steel bearing adapter that is formed to fit on top of a bearing assembly. An adapter pad, comprised of a selected hardness elastomer, is fit on top of the bearing adapter. The adapter pad includes a base section and a raised top section that is fit within the pad receiving opening in the pedestal roof section.

Abstract: A self-positioning cushioning device adapted to be mounted in the end of a rail car sill includes a hydraulic cylinder and yoke. A piston rod extends from the cylinder and is joined to one end of a yoke. The other end of the yoke is joined to a rail car coupler through a drawbar. A preloaded stack of elastomer pads is confined in a pocket in the yoke between a pair of stop plates which extend laterally of the yoke to engage stops during movement of the yoke, rod and piston in response to buff and draft impacts. The cylinder is filled with pressurized hydraulic fluid which maintains the piston in a central neutral position with the stop plate adjacent to coupler held against stops on the rail car sill. Buff impacts are cushioned first by the cylinder and at the end of the stroke by both the cylinder and the spring. Draft impacts are cushioned by both the cylinder and the spring.
