People, people, an engineer on light power, say one, maybe, maybe two, more than likely one though, can couple up to a car or train without and signal from the ground; facing the car or not. More than one engine and your depth perception is skewed. I can tell an engineer to hook and drag and he'll bring cars to me; of course you won't send your engineer against a cut or car knowing that the car's drawbar is crossed. Its all preference. Btw, who is the person riding that motor to a joint? Illegal
@GEES44DC I've been runnin trains for 12 years...I know the rule book and I make joins light power without any signals...open your eyes, it's easy to do and legal.
@GEES44DC Ok, so if you have say 6 engines and you are making a joint, on a curve your vision is impaired so you need someone on the point of the movement. It may be legal, but it's always wise to have a crew member on the ground. It's people with your attitude that I, 1. Hate having to work on a train with and 2. The managers have a field day with rules testing. When you post comments like the one you did, it makes you look bad.

What's the difference between a Janney Coupler and a knuckle coupler?

@jrkepler There is no difference. The Janney Coupler is also known as a Knuckle Coupler, AAR Coupler etc
