FIVE MILES AN HOUR

Would it be better off using America couple r?

I asked my dad about the birds and the bees.


He told me to watch this video.

This was filmed a Exeter TMD

Glad those aren't used in the U.S.

Unique coupler. The only problem I have with this coupler and many across the UK/Europe and what have you is that there are so many different types of couplers and no commonly agreed upon standard. In the US all mainline operators, meaning freight (CSX, NS, UP...) and passenger(Amtrak...), use the "same" Janney/Knuckle couplers on their cars. I understand that on some passenger services trains like the L trains use a special type of coupler but they aren't connected to the main lines to my knowledge. Just seems poor for interoperability in my mind but if it works it works!

Ok! Got it. I'm ready. Where's my train?

If all else fails more speed should help with coupling. 20mph should do the trick.

"Gentle Contact" Slams into the other train

looks to me like you better start this coupling procedure at least a week before the train will be in service.......look at that idiotic contraption.............what moron engineer had the nightmare that came up with this junk...............

Way too complicated.

I remember in Chester station watching two trains couple. It was a lot of fun. Missed my train so i had to walk on the tracks, but that was worth it.

Why have I watched this knowing full well I will NEVER need to know this

It takes forever to couple up? In America we use MU cables and hoses and our couplers ain't so dam finicky. By the time this guy gets coupled up an American train is already leaving the yard with it's train.

Hmmm … this “Automatic” coupler seems a lot more trouble than a manual coupler.😊😊

学废了，请问从那里领到一对class153，我按耐不住了😂

The BSI is basically an update of the older tight lock coupler. The tight lock is buckeye with an electric block underneath used on older electric units.

I enjoyed this,thankyou for uploading0

Sorry i ment😊
