Buffers and/or Couplings by Jay Lethbridge
This game is finished. Answers accepted would have been Couplings and/or Buffers / Game guessed correctly by Catherine Veal who stated that they were Buffers. Nice one Catherine. / I did say that this one was really easy LOL. Featured in the group Railway Art and Photography RELATED INFORMATION / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A buffer is a part of the buffers-and-chain coupling system used on the railway systems of many countries, among them most of those in Europe, for attaching railway vehicles to one another. Fitted at the ends of the vehicle frames, one at each corner, the buffers are projecting, shock-absorbing pads which, when vehicles are coupled, are brought into contact with those on the next vehicle. The draw chain used between each pair of vehicles includes a screw which is tightened after coupling to shorten the chain and keep the buffers pressed together. Although the buffers in the very earliest days of railways were rigid (dumb buffers), they soon came to be spring-loaded, while those fitted to modern locomotives and rolling stock incorporate oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers. Deadend sidings are often fitted with buffer stops to prevent vehicles running off the end of the track. These may consist of a simple transverse beam fixed at buffer height but the buffer stops at passenger stations can be elaborate hydraulic installations capable of absorbing a considerable amount of energy.

Bolted by chemicalfaerie
This is a picture of the bolts belonging to the railroad trestle crossing Lexington, Kentucky’s Elkhorn Creek. The idyllic bridge and creek are found right in the heart of thoroughbred country, very close to the famous horse farms such as Calumet and Darby Dan. This railroad bridge is one of my very favorite places in Lexington. As it’s a little off the beaten path, I feel that I alone have discovered how beautiful this old trestle can be.

The Old Atlantic Coastline Trestle by suzannem73
This old train trestle goes over one of our local highways. It has been there for many years. I don’t believe the trains travel across it anymore. I have never seen one on it. The photo was taken with a Kodak Easyshare camera and texture was added with Picasa. /

Steam locomotive of CFL by trainmaniac
The national railway row 42 (also as the second war railroad engine called) originated from the consideration that the application of the class 52 with her 15 Mp axle load on numerous would be too uneconomical for Mp 17-18 axle load to developed distances. The German imperial traffic ministry required the development of a heavier and more efficient war railroad engine in January, 1942. After protracted preliminary works one decided on one of the row 52 similar, substantially simplistic, nevertheless heavier design. One renounced the different constructive simplifications which hadn’t proved themselves with the class 52. The buying of twenty CFL locomotives in Austria caused some whirl in Luxembourg. In October, 1948 the general manager of the CFL went to Vienna to check the machines and to negotiate about the purchase price. The whole matter ran then quite clouded in secrecy. To attain clarification about the railroad engines standing in a queue for the sales, the land association of the Luxembourgian railway employees turned in October, 1948 to the colleagues of the Austrian association of labour unions. The Luxembourgian trade union feared because that wanted to acquire the CFL old, put down machines. /
