Apparently Greg was referring to the statement I didn't make.

I don't think the author implied anything either way. But just as equally, you seem to be muddying the waters. What is your position? Do you think the US does -- or doesn't -- use it's own coupler system? It seems that they don't.

I'm not sure that _any_ country uses it's own coupler system. I suppose there is one somewhere, but the only one I (thought I) could bring to mind was the USa.

Well, the fact that rail cars and locomotives from Newfoundland down to Tierra del Fuego can all be compatibly coupled pretty much demolishes

*that* theory.

Do we have a language problem here? How does the fact that rolling stock of the railways from New Foundland down to Terra del Fuego can all be coupled demolish that theory? If one of those countries uses it's own coupler and the others use the same coupler for compatibility, the theory is demonstrated to be _correct_.
