very very differnent type of coupling never seen dis bfore thanks

[@nobodyblank4017]

Joy Ghosh its centre buffer coupling the coupling that used in LHB trains

[@karthikkumarcse]

nice video btw... what is this coupling jugaad? Never seen this kind of patching the gaps. Indian Railways must give utmost importance to such critical areas. No gloves or protective gear for the men. Huge respect for these men

[@kraviindia]

Karthik Kumar thank you for watching and commenting...

Wow!! Great thing about your maiden video!! Many to come in future!! 👍🏻😁 audio was kinda distorted!! But a great video indeed!! 😁

[@kraviindia]

thank you Tapan Sharma for viewing and commenting.
It was shot on Nexus cell phone hence the average audio quality, possibly...

[@Col.J.N.W.SinghKhandala]

Coupling is the most dangerous work activity for gangmen and locomotive engineers alike. The coupling doesn't always sit in precisely with it's receiving joint and the loco engineers have to struggle a lot with reversing the loco and driving it back with a slight amount of speed to drive in the coupling. During this, the communication and coordination between the loco enggr and the gangman must be precise failing which the gangman highly risks losing his life on the spot crushed between the loco and the coach.

[@dpmc9666]

The rail crew must be given gloves, reflective uniforms and better pay for what is a tedious yet critical job. The steam era is long gone but its high time the the jaded old khaki uniforms worn by railway workers, rickshaw and bus drivers, conductors, policemen and guards are changed to more professional, contemporary and respectable style.

Thank you Pavan Pratap.

[@rubincroy]

Quite a different coupling,.. Is there any changes made to coupling?

[@kraviindia]

Not sure Rubin.
This is my first recording and I had always wanted to capture the coupling and its activities up close. Shared it so that it may be of interest to other rail fans. Thanks for watching the clip.

[@lavishravan]

Yeah these are called CBCs but not new. these coaches were stopped productions and normal coupler fitted coaches continued production.

[@shyamvaransharma7019]

WOW.. I LIKE

[@SukumarDevaguptapuLife-Smiles]

The video is good..but shocking to see them wedge metals in the gap...absolutely ridiculous... if the Indian Railways are have non standard work methods.. compromising safety with such bad practices. Shame on our engineering skills..!!

[@kraviindia]

Hello Sukumar
Thanks for watching the clip and sharing your comments. Even I was surprised when they put in the extra wedges... Showed the clip to a few people, but no one had an idea why they did it...

[@ershadab]

+kraviindia.. Yes it's simply a bad practice on the parts of SE (Mechanical).. one of the two couplings either in Loco or the rake is weared out and thus results in a play between the two couplings, in such cases coupling must be replaced, inducing wedges is not a good practice to tighten the joint.. this I a clear lapse on safety issues.

[@sandynoby]

wowow..............why the heck they are using loose coupling wedges ..... for what ?? safety wise not good.........., where are engineers .............??????????????????????????????

[@Trainstraveller5849]

this is actual a jugad

[@shubhamdesai9433]

How did you edit your video?

[@PSM1857]

The Video was shot using Nexus 5 (2013) mobile. No special editing / processing was done on the video. Just titled it using Windows Movie maker...
