Mounted to the end ... is a striker plate (or striker casting in earlier years). When an engineer slams a train together, the couplers get shoved back into the "draft gear box." If the hitch is really rough, the coupler head will get shoved all the way back to bump up against the striker, which explains how the striker got its name. 1, record 1, English, - striker
