locomotive coupling points/sites /locations

Explanation:
I don't think the usual meaning of Bespannung (fitting, covering) fits here. Perhaps it is being used analaogously to the definition given by Langenscheidt's Technik, viz., Zugtiere) team (of horses, oxen etc.). By extension this would be 'coupling' of locomotives.To this, add -'stelle' (points/sites/locations).
