A coupler yoke for an E-Type coupler is constructed with a blunt nose by foreshortening the length of the nose. The nose length is 3 inches as measured from a point at the forward most part of a semicircular end of the keyslot to the forward most end of the nose portion. The walls of the nose portion are solid with a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape. The nose wall extend rearwardly where they merge with keyslot ribs at each side of the keyslot in the head portion of the yoke.
