In the original scan(TIFF) I can see that there is an extra coupler below the regular coupler visible on the cab end down around traction motor height. My imagination has worked overtime on what they would couple to. Does anyone have words of wisdom about this. I assume some low level car or narrow gauge car?

The second coupler was for the ingot cars. In later years, they used idler cars.
