- ioblomov 2y agoAccording to the diagram, the buffer cars are empty flatbed cars without walls. Presumably, the inverse square law of intensity over distance is what’s at play here.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoAccording to the photograph as well, so my error. On the other hand, according to the photograph, there's a thin steel wall on the end of the car carrying the cask. And then there's thin steel walls on the locomotive and caboose.
