You just have to make sure that you don't couple two non rotating couplers together and tryto go through the dumper. In that case the draft gear would be ripped out of the cars.
That is absolutely awesome! I was thinking they disconnected the car first but i didnt know that these new coalpoarters had couplers that could rotate like that!

I didn't realize that couplers had that range of motion. That's pretty cool.

The cars use special couplers. (Tightlock coupling)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"
"Tightlock coupling or titelok coupler is an American Association of Railroads (AAR) tooth and socket automatic coupler of which there are two types:
AAR type F for freight cars, including shelf couplers and rotating-shaft couplers introduced for use in rotary car dumpers
APTA (former AAR) standard type H (together with "pads" to reduce slack) for passenger cars and passenger train locomotives."
