An end hose support assembly for a rail car is disclosed. The end hose support assembly may include a rear support bracket configured to be removably engaged within a yoke and the support assembly may constrain the lateral and vertical movement of a portion of the trainline.

Trainline support assembly

A coupler head and mounting bracket combination for supporting a brake hose fitting uses a lug formed integrally with the coupler head and a support bracket mating with the lug. In embodiments, the bracket may be installed in a plurality of vertical positions on the coupler head. The bracket is maintained in a position inboard of the lateral side of the coupler head, to reduce or eliminate the likelihood that the bracket will interfere with the other equipment or the car body. Embodiments of the invention are particularly adapted for 'E' type and 'F' type coupler heads.

System for mounting a bracket to a coupler head

A clamshell case for enclosing a helicopter includes a base for supporting said helicopter, a first side section attached by a first hinge to one edge of the base, a second side section attached by a second hinge to the other edge of the base, and a drive system for rotating said side sections towards each other to substantially enclose said helicopter and substantially completely protect it from the weather and other damage.

Trainline support casting

A trainline support casting is provided to support flexible brake hoses between adjacent rail cars. The trainline support casting is capable of partial rotational movement during use and is supported on a mounting bracket adapted to mount directly to a coupler head of a cushioned car coupler, insuring a constant distance from the end of the coupler to the trainline support casting and a constant distance of the brake hoses above the ground according to AAR standards.
