Is it really? You're right, it definitely doesnt look like a good hold.. I thought they were going to put like a U shape pin in the 2 holes from the top to give it extra hold
@@frankierzucekjr you probably could put something there but it won’t add that much strength. The locking is done by the large pin at the back of each coupler that drops behind it as it closes. So while it looks like it opens once it hits that pin it’s not going anywhere.
TH-cam must have this listed as a cat video, as it seems all of us are getting this video in the cat video stream lol. It's not a bad thing at all, just seems like a weird coincidence.
@@TheTruthKiwi If the coupler breaks, the air is released from the brake hose and applies the brakes. (Although this did not exist in the early days, which resulted in carriages full of passengers careening down hills.)
Why does it have the hole for the link and pin coupling but doesn't have the gap in the middle to actually fit the link in? Not having the hole would make the coupler... "finger" stronger surely?
OMG This is the first video of Todd's that I watched and I just looked at the other videos on the channel and was shocked it's a kid's channel. I figured it was a mechanical engineer or railroad worker and it's a kid. 😲

Yes like others. TH-cam sent me a video of a black panther in someone s home ! Similar to a cat video I guess then out of nowhere train video same category ?
We had to do tons of grinding for gauging and making sure the yolk and pins move freely and grinded the outside for safe handling and also added were plates
Amazing how it looks loose but one of the strongest connections in the world
Yep!

@@frankierzucekjr I thought the same thing since it has the holes but I guess not 🤷♂️

The amount of weight those couplings can take blows my mind
Same here!
I love that bell sound..
That reminds me of my hometown..
Neat! How?
@@SRR475 church bells that always rang on 6am & 6pm
Awesome
looks satisfactory
What do you mean?
The way that worker came in the middle and patted both couplings kinda made me think of:
*Battle of the Couplings*
Do you mean the referee of the match?
@@Br4m76 exactly!
Lol, Now Fight!!!!
Yeah!!
The algorithm is with you today. I was looking at cat videos and got diverted here.
(Not a complaint - thumbs up buddy)
Thanks man!
I was watching cat videos and that brought me to this as well

This is how I am gonna feel when I’m about to hit that 2k mark

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Thanks!
To think that they used to be held together with just a pin an loop of metal
I know right
The exerting force is on bigger pivot. The small pin only to keep it from sideway opening.
Really, it's as genius as it sound
Yeah
Still is the norm in someplaces.
True
Awesome video of Rail history. Thanks for sharing it .greetings from Railfan Bikana .
INDIA 🇮🇳.
Your welcome!
Bro are you from Bikaner?❤️.
I am also there.
Me? If so, no.
I would have thought there might be something to fit into those two holes as well. Just that pin by itself seems a bit limp
I’m not even sure myself.
Yeah, like that's all that's stopping a carriage full of passengers going careening down a hill.
There are dynamic brakes and emergency brakes as well.

Great museum there !
Thanks!
For some reason I expected the car to move into the loco instead of vice versa. lol.
Yeah, the cars couldn’t move by themselves other than gravity obviously
Nice capture ❤️🔥
Thanks
Why wasn’t it placed correctly first time?
I don’t know much about coupling, would be great if you can explain what they were doing here.
They missed it a little

Why pull the pin when she coupled up first time round? Is there something else I missed?
Pin didn't drop!
That means it did not couple
