Body Damage

The body of a rail vehicle can get damaged from collisions, harsh shunting, severe powertrain failures that cause parts to fly apart, fire and even explosions. Body damage may result in electrical systems failure, making lights, wipers and other electrical features dysfunctional. It doesn't otherwise affect the moving capability of a vehicle.
