Yes, the beast's weight when compared to its European counterparts makes that much clear. But in designing the PL42AC Alstom and Vossloh left the crash energy management elements of their Prima locomotive in place in addition to the rigidity required for the US market. The FRA has finally caught up with way the rest of the world has known for a decade or more and acknowledges that CEM oes a superior job of protecting occupants, particularly the engineer, in grade crossing collisions than did their old crash worthiness standards. |
