Buffers and/or Couplings by Jay Lethbridge
This game is finished. Answers accepted would have been Couplings and/or Buffers / Game guessed correctly by Catherine Veal who stated that they were Buffers. Nice one Catherine. / I did say that this one was really easy LOL. Featured in the group Railway Art and Photography RELATED INFORMATION / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A buffer is a part of the buffers-and-chain coupling system used on the railway systems of many countries, among them most of those in Europe, for attaching railway vehicles to one another. Fitted at the ends of the vehicle frames, one at each corner, the buffers are projecting, shock-absorbing pads which, when vehicles are coupled, are brought into contact with those on the next vehicle. The draw chain used between each pair of vehicles includes a screw which is tightened after coupling to shorten the chain and keep the buffers pressed together. Although the buffers in the very earliest days of railways were rigid (dumb buffers), they soon came to be spring-loaded, while those fitted to modern locomotives and rolling stock incorporate oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers. Deadend sidings are often fitted with buffer stops to prevent vehicles running off the end of the track. These may consist of a simple transverse beam fixed at buffer height but the buffer stops at passenger stations can be elaborate hydraulic installations capable of absorbing a considerable amount of energy.

Bolted by chemicalfaerie
This is a picture of the bolts belonging to the railroad trestle crossing Lexington, Kentucky’s Elkhorn Creek. The idyllic bridge and creek are found right in the heart of thoroughbred country, very close to the famous horse farms such as Calumet and Darby Dan. This railroad bridge is one of my very favorite places in Lexington. As it’s a little off the beaten path, I feel that I alone have discovered how beautiful this old trestle can be.
