Dave, is 1906 correct? As far as I know the Railroad Safety Appliance Act was passed in 1893. It required automatic couplers on all cars in interstate commerce by January 1st, 1898. In reality the law took effect in 1903. The second RSAA of 1903 required all railcars equipped with automatic couplers. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090731183723/http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/safety/rail_safety_program_booklet_v2.pdf">https://web.archive.org/web/20090731183723/http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/safety/rail_safety_program_booklet_v2.pdf</a> Please correct me if got something wrong. Regards, Volker
