ABSTRACT:
A railroad car coupler having a knuckle in an open position further includes a lock which rests on a tail portion of the knuckle. By providing a continuous clearance between a leg portion of the lock and an end wall of the knuckle tail portion, lock drop reliability is increased substantially upon the knuckle being swung from the open position to a closed position.
