Abstract:

This invention relates to trains of wheeled vehicles capable of being moved in either direction without the necessity of reversing the position of the engine relatively to the train, the several vehicles being connected by coupling members which are pivoted to adjacent vehicles and capable of being locked to each rear or successive vehicle.

Claim:
