Janney Knuckle Couplers?

colorado hirailerOGR Forum Member

There is a thread running about European style railcar couplers, that gave rise to my curiosity about North American Janney knuckle

couplers, and what their history was...i.e., when were they invented, what railroad first used them, when were they mandated for

interstate trains, etc.?

Janney lived down the road from me in Alexandria. Of course he didn't know me at the time, nor I him.
