ABSTRACT:
A railroad coupler mount includes a hook (20) for contacting the inside upper lip (28) of a coupler head (10) within a single coring hole (12a), a jaw member (22) which engages the rib (18) between a pair of coring holes (12a and 14a), a pad (24) for abutting against an outside surface (26) of the coupler head (10), and a handle (30) for orienting the hook (20) in the transverse or upright positions. In a preferred configuration, end-of-train signalling and monitoring equipment (42) is connected to a railroad coupler mount (44) and the handle (64) which tightens the hook (58) against the inside lip of the coupler head also serves the function of locking a battery compartment door (54) closed.
