Railroad Coupler
See the insides of a Type-F railroad coupler including the knuckle, lock, rotor, knuckle thrower, and rotary lock-lift assembly. I found this coupler by the side of a bike trail in the Edwardsville Illinois area. The bike trail is build on an old railroad bed and the coupler must have been abandoned there. There may have been a railroad accident associated with it because of the damage that is visible: the end loop is cracked off, which is where all of the load would be to pull the train, and one of the ears of the coupler is cracked off as well. However, the inner workings are all there and I was able to remove enough rust to disassemble the coupler. It had to have been sitting in the dirt for about 40 to 50 years. It would really be interesting to know the history behind it and how it got there.
