Just curious. So while figure 6 appears to show that the uncouple coil is wired to the right control rails, figure 7 shows that coil is wired to the left control rails. So am I reading figure 6 wrong? Or is figure 6 wrong? Did the UCS track ever have the coil wired to the right control rail like shown in Figure 6? Or is there another explanation? TIA

Figure 7 is face down while figure 6 is face up, but I think 6 has the coil powered incorrectly from the right rails and not the left.
I looked at several UCS tracks and none are like fig. 6.
Yah, I checked all of mine. None of mine are wired like figure 6. It makes a small functional difference especially with a car that has coil couplers (e.g. 3459) if the coil is wired to the left or right control rails. I wonder if Lionel switched from the right to the left when magnetic couplers where introduced back in the day?
