Multiple Uses of Rail Car Stops
We have three levels of car stopping products based on frequency of use and the length of the train that will make contact with the stop.
Car stops are sold in single units but should always be used in pairs.
- Car Stops and Bumping Posts are for use on flat track only at a slow speed (1-3 mph).
- Car Stops are not equal in stopping capacity to a Bumping Post. Limit use of car stops to lightly travelled side tracks, where one to two cars maximum are being moved.
- Provide ample space between car stops and object to be protected.
- Use a signalman to guide locomotive engineer as cars approach stop or post. Repeated impacts will weaken stops and posts.
