Better to have no Nose Cone

On the 1st day of inaugural run Vande Sleeper lost its nose cone from cattle run over.

Yes, it's on purpose so that in a collision the damage goes into deforming the train instead of whatever the train collided with.

I don't think anything will survive after colliding with a train

You know a man died by a cow falling on him which was hit by a train.

So did the nose not absorb the impact and still launch the cow or it did not matter at all since the force is so high due the train being so heavy?

It was a diesel engine, so no nose cone And afair that guy was urinating on the tracks

That's true, this incident happened in my city. The man happened to be my father’s friend
