While an anti-climber does keep debris from the track from climbing up, the actual purpose is to prevent whatever is coupled behind the locomotive from jumping up and telescoping into the crew space during a collision or derailment. Tank cars containing hazardous cargo accompli***he same task using the couplers with vertical movement restricters. By keeping the force of the collision down at the frame level you increase the survivability of an accident for the crew.
