It says its option, but CEM is only effective if your not hitting dead objects weighing more than structure with CEM.What? Where do you come up with this crap? It's clear you didn't bother to read where the damn FRA said you're completely wrong. Anything that absorbs crash energy and allows the rear cars to decelerate slower and in a more controllable manner (without the buckling and derailing that is the hallmark of American collisions) is an asset in any crash, regardless of the mass of the colliding objects. The PL42ac has no CEM structure at all, neither has any new passenger equipment currently in service. Well we know that is not true. Metrolink's new Rotem cars are called the CEM fleet for a very specific reason. But it was someone who claimed to be an NJT employee on RR.net who stated they were equipped with the same CEM elements in the cab as other Prima locomotives built at the same time. Unfortunately with all the changes RR.net has undergone (this was around 2006 in the 2nd iteration of the site) I can't seem to find the discussion. |
