Drive may comprise coupling or torque converter, or combination of both; hydraulic transmission couplings and torque converters for rail cars afford smooth acceleration and reduce wear in engines and chasses; fluid coupling also enables power of two or more engines to be combined through common driving shaft in special cases, with provision for cutting out any engine if and when desirable.
