<p>[quote user="BaltACD"]The tonnages of todays Class 1 freight trains posess more force in their momentum than virtually ANYTHING designed and built by man can withstand at the point of impact.[/quote]</p> <p>CEM on freight locomotives will not solve all problems but CEM can reduce the aftermath. Under some circumstances the FRA- Crashworthiness compliant freight locomotive might still have a quite intact crew cab but the crew didn't survive because of too high deceleration and impact. CEM can reduce both.</p> <p>I don't know what you would do but I would never again use a car without CEM/crumple zone.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
