  1. Double shelf couplers on hazmat tank cars prevent overriding of the coupler system in accidents. If a hazmat tank car is equipped with these couplers, they will prevent a car from striking and puncturing an adjacent car, resulting in the catastrophic release of toxic materials. So, the answer to your question is a resounding YES.


  2. Yep.  "F" knuckles too. All Hazmat has double shelf.  They're moving spent fuel in wellcars?
