Broken Coupler and Busted Draft Gear on this Hopper Car

Will show you a broken hopper car coupler, busted up draft gear and
also a set of our 50 ton Whiting Jacks they use to pick up the hopper
cars and also the locomotives. These Whiting jacks can be raised or lowered
individually, in sets of 2 or in a set of all 4 at the same time. Control voltage
to raise or lower them is 480 volts.
