Automatic Coupler Trouble Sparks Safety Debate
A early rail safety note discusses automatic couplers for locomotives. It describes pilot dangers when a truck is ahead of the locomotive and explains a front pilot modification using a heavy bent sheet iron to prevent accidents and protect crews from collisions on pending railroad equipment laws.
Novel Sheet Iron Device Adds Safety to Locomotive Couplers
A new sheet iron guard is described as securely braced on the pilot of a tandem compound passenger locomotive and planned for other engines. It is designed to resist heavy blows and protect the coupling area by preventing an object from striking forward of the engine when automatic front couplers are used. The system complements long draw bars and will be added to locomotives lacking automatic front couplers.
