A rigid curved pipe section is connected to the swivel extension with a 45.degree. elbow. The rigid pipe section and 45.degree. elbow may swivel about a horizontal axis. The curved pipe extends upwardly and inboard of the car where it joins brake piping extending inboard of the car. A conventional end cock is attached to the swivel fitting with appropriate fasteners. A 45.degree. elbow is used to removably connect the glad hand of the train line to the end cock.
