Abstract
The invention relates to a rapid transit draft rigging for an automatic coupler wherein a draft gear cushioning device is held within a pocket of a housing exterior to a drawbar that will release by a predetermined force to provide long free travel, permitting the coupler and draft gear arrangement to move out of the way so that they are not damaged by an accident that deforms the end of the car.
