Rail car knuckle pins are heavy-duty, vertical steel rods that secure a hinged coupler knuckle to the railcar drawbar. They enable cars to connect and disconnect. Standard C-10 knuckle pins are the industry norm, measuring 13 3/8 inches long, 1 5/8 inches in diameter, and weighing roughly 10 pounds.
