It wasn't necessarily the coupler that caused problems. When the cars were linked into 4-car units, we eliminated 6 electric portions, 6 master controllers, 6 master door controllers and 6 brake valves for each 4 car link. In doing so, maintenance was more concentrated on fewer components and 75% fewer potential failure points. |
