Bump posts or wheel stops?

These are all good posts, so let me tell you about a bumper that worked. In the late 70s I was riding into the Stuttgart Germany train station - stub ended. The engineer wasn't paying attention and hit the bumper at the platform at probably 3 or 4 mph. Even at that low speed it was a violent stop. Every head was turned towards the train and the great cloud of dust hanging in the air. Getting off the train I saw that the bumper was a really BIG concrete block, with 2 marks on it from the engine buffers. So, I know from experience that huge blocks of concrete will keep a train out of the depot concourse!! JOHN.
