Wow, that's something else! Take a look where it broke... see the rust streaks? It was already cracked where it lost about 50% of the cross section. Perhaps they should start inspecting all their draft gears a little more closely!

That would be a bit tricky to inspect without disassembling the entire coupler.

Proof that "tight-lock" couplers do what they are supposed to do ... stay coupled.

Something seems wrong here, but I just don't know what it is. Nice find!

There is no way to inspect that area without completely disassemblying the coupler box.

The ratio of the sizes here I find amazing. One would think both ends would have to be the same size. The broken end could not possibly have the same strength. Learn sump'in new every day!

Whoever did this has some serious explaining to do...
