I've seen photos of a test carried out over here on a cask where they ran an old loco and a few cars into an empty one at approx 100MPH - the cask was barely scratched while the loco was a write-off. That's pretty solid! I'd say that in this part of the world you're more at risk from leftover fallout from Chenobyl than a nuclear fuel transport - there are hill farmers near me who still have to have all their sheep tested for radioactivity before they are allowed to sell them. <br /> <br />The debate about the security angle is interesting - trains carrying the high-level stuff over here have had a couple of modified passenger cars full of armed police attached to the train since about 2001, but they seem ok about photographing the trains - at least, I've not heard of anyone being hassled while doing so. I guess so long as the same faces and vehicles don't appear at every stop or town, they don't take any action.
