It should be very long and elaborate with hydraulics, which I have seen elsewhere (forgot where, maybe Chicago Union).If the lead car is to absorb much rather than be the battering ram that it is, I assume via a crumple zone, then where does that go ? Obviously we do not want to crush the engineer's cab. The passenger compartment is immediately behind with seats. Do we leave 10' - 20' vacant behind the cab, and also put a long, fancy, loco-like nose on the cab cars ? We have no idea how fast it was going until the event recorders and black boxes are all analyzed. Unfortunately, NJT regards Hoboken as a backwater operation and does not invest as much as they should into it. |
