In these four wheeler oil tankers,there are two versions-one with screw coupling and the other with CBC.The Railways do not allow the direct coupling of these types of wagons.Instead a bogie wagon is marshalled between these two types of wagons to maintain stability.This bogie wagon has the two different types of couplings at its ends.

Interesting ! I wonder how this rake(half CBC,half Chain coupler)will behave w.r.t. slack...

Or maybe that flat wagon is to shoot a stunt where a biker flies off over an LC and over the only flat wagon in the rake :-)
