K Strong, the Billmyer and small Co. resided in York, Penn. They were only a subcontractor. According to ther book I have THREE FEET ON THE PANHANDLE, the W&W switched to automatic couplers three years before the saftey compliance act of 1893 which required them. <br />On April 1, 1903 an amendment was was made and stated" whenever as provided in said act, any train is operated with power or train brakes, not less then 50% of the cars in such train shall have their brakes used and operated by the engineer of the locomotive drawing such a train; and all power-braked cars in such train which are associated together with said 50 % shall have their brakes so used and operated;..." meaning the EBT was in violation of the saftey compliance act or maybe grandfathered in someway?
