I think it is a known fakt that anticlimbers don't always work as intended. The 2011 Red Oak accident is an example. Research by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center of the US DoT have shown that push-back couplers and deformable anticlimbers show better results. That is on reason that passenger locomotives like EMD F125, Siemens Sprinter and Charger are equipped with push-back couplers and Crash Energy Management Anticlimbers. Animation conventional versus CEM couplers: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPXtOUWPWWg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPXtOUWPWWg</a> And a report: <a href="https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/12370/dot_12370_DS1.pdf">https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/12370/dot_12370_DS1.pdf?</a> Regards, Volker Edit: Replaced the second identical link with the right one
