Oh yes, I've seen such happen. Not pretty. Also birds hitting front of the cab at 100 mph, THUD! Thank goodness for that FRA glazing spec...
Pat, thanks for that, much appreciated.
Back to some nonsense:
How about njt increase number of trains per hour times 4, just have much shorter consist for each train, 2 locomotives per train even the arrow sets.. Re-open colonia, Adams, penns neck, south Elizabeth, north linden, and any/all other former stations. Have diesel and steam power from museums 2 weeks a year, and replace all the rail with 155 lb.
Don't forget the 12 cars wrapped in Jeff Smith rules livery.
No I'm not a railroad professional, but that doesn't mean I can't provide first hand observational comments.
