Steve,

Unfortunately the cars really dont take it. In the field you can't see the 
damage that was done by that overspeed impact. The draft gears may be blown,the 
sills bowed,follower blocks knocked out of position,draft gear keys and wedges 
bent,shear plates bowed and on tank cars the tank bottom buckled under the 
jacket that you can see on the outside or most likely the stub sill is 
cracked.and the crack silently grows each year .
All this damage is found during a shop inspection and the car owner files a 
claim with the handling carrier for Rule 95 damage and the battle rages on. Of 
course sometimes the car doesn't go to shop for years and then one day the car 
sill fails dramatically in the field and the car owner gets blamed for 
putting this piece of XXXX on my railroad. In Canada the rule making 
body(Transport 
Canada-their version of the FRA) has a regulation that requires the carrier to 
notify the tank car owner anytime they couple his car above 4MPH. The car 
must be shopped and inspected before being loaded again.
That's why there's that clause in the special instructions of all rr 
operating depts.about not coupling cars above 4MPH.
