Yeah, you definitely do agree with Jersey Mike. Especially that bit about us having to shell out the big bucks for tank-like railcars, the money to keep those behemoths running, and then pay even more money to crash-proof the ROW when we discover our standards based on crash survival are without the slightest grounding in reality.What makes you think a shipping container is going to be any more effective than existing deformable buffers? It's certainly going to consume a lot more material, all of which will have to go somewhere in the event of a collision. Are you prepared to have a passenger be struck by a piece of metal flying away from your jury-rigged deformable barrier? |
