Push a stalled train 14,000 tonnes
I have just run the activity up to the broken train.
I got a number of coupler breaks of 1.2 million pounds at car 64from con file BNSF Dash 9-44CW 111car G-BENLVW 4hlp dp
As there are 2 dash9's ( 280,000lb ) on the front and 4 sd70ace's ( 700,000lb ) at car 82, I don't see how its possible to get a force of 1,2 million pounds at car 64.
Is it possible the calculation of coupler break is using compression force rather than stretch force?
