A train coupler is a complex locking mechanism designed to securely connect train cars, but under certain conditions, it can get stuck, causing operational delays. As shown in the image, the coupler relies on an interlocking latch system with rotating components and spring-loaded mechanisms to engage and disengage properly. However, misalignment during coupling, excessive force, debris accumulation, or weakened springs can prevent smooth operation, leading to a jammed coupler. Additionally, extr

Ever wondered how the cars of a train are connected? The semi-automatic coupler style shown here represented a big step forward in train operation. Previous couplers required a railroad worker to physically get between the train cars to operate a link-and-pin coupler—a dangerous task that resulted in frequent injuries and even deaths. The link-and-pin couplers had no standardized design, so rail workers spent hours trying to pair the pins with the links. And as railroad technology advanced, the
