This report covers research that was performed to investigate the present crashworthiness state of in-service locomotives and design applications for new locomotives to protect occupants from serious or fatal injury during collision conditions. The tasks that were performed are: (1) identify past and present accident histories of railroads covering all types of accidents, especially rear-end and head-on collisions resulting in car override; (2) analyze concepts that are currently available for mitigating the car override problem and identify improved concepts; (3) analyze the impact of these concepts on railroad operations considering both implementation and cost; (4) develop performance guidelines for the most beneficial concepts to be implemented on existing and new locomotives; and (5) evaluate the abilities of representative locomotive cabs to support a static load.
