Default Dangers of High Speed Trains Pushed from the Rear

I suspect the shape of the leading power car to have something to do
with gathering up the car instead of just shunting it to the side.

As has been said before, the shape of the nose of the power car is
simply fibreglass. Behind that fibreglass is essentially what one
would find on the front of a locomotive, though without the buffers.

prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.
