The draft gear includes a slack adjustment and cushioning assembly mountable within a female connector for pin connection with a male connector inserted therein. The assembly is made up of a follower which contacts the rear end of the male connector, a slack adjustment wedge, a buff taper plate cooperable with the wedge to take up slack during draft loads, and an elastomeric pad which acts between the buff taper plate and a backing surface to maintain slack adjustment during draft loads and to provide resilient cushioning support during a pitching force or buff load. The assembly is applicable to drawbar couplers and to articulated connectors.
