Rail Buffer Stops for Engineers

The document describes a fixed buffer stop system with a concrete base foundation that is used to safely stop trains. It consists of long stroke gas-hydraulic buffers mounted on a reinforced concrete base. The buffers are designed to absorb impact energy and allow for a controlled reduction in train speed. The concrete base allows for customization and reduced costs compared to all-steel designs. Simulation analysis is used to validate the performance of the buffer stops under different train speeds and masses.
