Mikey,

Check for anything in between the rails that might be bumping the bottoms of
the coupler weights.  I used to have a Flyer re-railer that would cause
uncouplings by nudging the weights.  Exit the re-railer, and the number of
uncouplings went down dramatically.  Could happen on grade crossings too.
