Coupling rod information


Hinged side rods connecting the driving wheels of Milwaukee Road 261.

A coupling rod or side rod connects the driving wheels of a locomotive. Steam locomotives in particular usually have them, but some diesel and electric locomotives, especially older ones and shunter locomotives, also have them. The coupling rods transfer the power of drive to all wheels.
