Braking systems for railway cars are provided. A braking system defines a longitudinal axis (L), and includes a first brake assembly (52), a second brake assembly (54), and an actuator (80) operable to generate a linear force, the actuator (80) disposed proximate the second brake assembly (54). The braking system further includes a movable rod (90) and a fixed rod (100) extending between the first brake assembly (52) and the second brake assembly (54). In some embodiments, the braking system further includes a dead lever (110) and a slack adjuster (130) disposed proximate the first brake assembly (52), the slack adjuster (130) connected to the first brake assembly (52) and the dead lever (110) and operable to adjust a distance along the longitudinal axis (L) between a reference point of the first brake assembly (52) and a pivot point (116) of the dead lever (110).
