Title: Acela Couplers
Post by: jonjdurkin on April 16, 2009, 06:17:04 PM
A while ago I asked if anyone knew how to dismantle an Acela passenger car in order to repair the coupler. It is impossible to do without removing the trucks. There is a spring and a ball joint involved. Anyone!

Are you familiar with David Harrison's Acela website?

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
