Nobody ever tested the anticlimber technologies to over 40 MPH except for those of us careless train operators. High speed collisions like the one last year in D.C. or Layton Gibson need to be eliminated. The Jerome Avenue Derailment was fatal to one R62 that was bent into a "V" but well enough under 30 MPH so the anticlimbers stayed locked together enough to prevent frame jumping. Has the DOT test facilities ever conducted testing of rapid transit cars the way they have crashed locomotives into M1s? |
