Steam locomotives were connected to their tenders with solid drawbars generally nearly four feet in length with a hole at either end. Often a second drawbar with slightly slotted holes at both ends and refered to as safety bars. A drawbar pin of 4.5 to 6 inches or more in diameter was inserted from below and held in place with a retainer plate. A spring loaded buffer and chaffing plate were located just above the drawbar.
