ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A draft gear carrier attached to the lower flanges of a hat shaped center sill comprises a flat steel plate to which are connected first and second slide or wear plates which extend substantially the width of the center sill. The slide plates are substantially identical and, in assembling of the carrier, proper assembly is assured since the carrier is reversible and either slide plate will properly support the draft gear. Upon predetermined wear to the first side of the carrier, resulting in an arcuate depression in the first side flanked by unworn, thick lateral edge portions, the carrier may be reversed, whereupon the arcuate depression faces downwardly and defines an upwardly arch-like depression centered between the unworn strength imparting thick edge portions which serve as buttresses for the arch-like depression.
