Posted by Bill West on Sun Mar 1 02:23:34 2015, in response to Re: CNS&M (was:Re: Eye Candy Photo), posted by WillD on Sat Feb 28 23:19:09 2015. Enroute consist changes & Rapid transit couplers -indeed other examples exist. My comments were just that they were not the most common approach across the 700-800 operators in the country.MU socket location -A CERA reprint of a Westinghouse booklet includes the Waterloo, Cedar Falls & Northern. In a close up it shows the sockets on the same bracket that hangs the air hoses from the coupler shank. The MU cables look like 2 more hoses. For the CSS&SB this RailPictures shot does show a socket lower under the coupler of a preserved car as you have mentioned. Another shot is here. This arrangement might be a feature of wide swinging couplers for city curves. But despite the sockets being large I couldn't find them in older pictures from other companies including the one that started this post …until I found this preserved CNS&M car and looked under the coupler and behind the hoses. Dark shadows in most shots seem to be our problem. Bill |
