The draftgear in the end of the cars (between the drawbar and the center sill) is a springloaded mechanism designed to buffer the car and its contents from being slammed around. Some cars also have end of car cushioning devices. Mostly boxcars, auto racks and some flats. The end of car cus. device allows the draft arm to slide in and out with spring resistance to further isolate the car from shock. These cars change how the slack action of a train reacts. You would have to ask Waba***o get into the nuts and bolts of this. I am not a hog. <br />Ken
