Apparently "lashed together" must be one of those quaint expressions that
only we North Americans use to describe how the steam engineers kept their
double and triple heads together. I was not aware that diesels are
connected to each other differently from how steam engines were connected to
each other - couplers, isn't it?

------------------------------
Steam locos were never "lashed together". They were "double headed" or
"triple headed" etc.
"Lash-up" and or "lashed" together is , I believe, a term that only came
into use during the diesel era and is/was I believe, a purely railfan term.
Cheers.
