The coupling, which is of horizontally sliding coupling type, consists in a casing (12) at the rear end of the semi-trailer, into which is inserted a spherical joint (7) at the end of the coupling male member (2) applied to the front end of the adjoining semi-trailer to be coupled by means of a pin (3). Moreover, the invention comprises in adaptor cars to apply to the front and rear ends of one or more semi-trailers to permit their insertion into a railway train made up of traditional wagons and also comprises in interconnected safety devices. <IMAGE>
