Atlas coupler trip pins no longer magnetic

I discovered a little while ago that the MTL-clone coupler trip pins on Atlas ex-BLMA rolling stock releases are not magnetic.  Today, I discovered that AccuMate coupler trip pins on current Atlas releases, motive power and rolling stock, also are no longer magnetic.  So an upgrade to MTL couplers are necessary for magnetic hands-free uncoupling.
