Regarding buff standards, I think i have to say some things. 1. In Europe, both freight and passenger trains are built on lower standards. So, if two trains crash, no train gets demolished by the other one. 2. The european screw coupler is only capable to withstand about 66,000 pounds, so a 440,000 pounds buff standard is safe enough for european operations. But many american locomotive consists are capable to pull more, and the AAR coupler is a lot stronger, therefore locomotive force is high enough to break many european trains. 3. When passenger trains are physically segregated from freights, no "equalizing" standard is needed. So there is no problem on running lighter trainsets on lighter-train-only lines. But despite its great look and being passenger-designed, an F59PHI (or GE Genesis, though ugly) is still a threat for lighter trains, and should not be run between them. So, there is no easy solution.
