Did they describe how they would trigger the airbag? Conceptually, the idea would work, but I think it would have to be outlandish in execution. An airbag device <em>could</em> be developed that would allow a 60 mph train to strike a car dead center, and not only prevent injury, but even prevent damage to the car. But it might require an whole separate railcar to carry the system and be pushed ahead of the locomotive.
