[quote user="edblysard"]What is the average weight in imperial tons of a European freight locomotive?[/quote] four-axle locomotives around 100 tons, six-axle units about 140 tons. The question was the failure of the convenional FRA-compliant anticlimber. There are a lot of accident reports and tests showing that this kind of anticlimber often doesn't work as intended. The push-back coupler and the deformable anticlimber allow the vehicles to interlock and prevent overriding, while the FRA-anticlimber inhere the danger that a vehicle is deflected upward. And so far this is independent of locomotive weight. In this case the push-back deformable anticlimber combination is not used as CEM element but an overriding prevention. Regards, Volker
