Lead author Dr. Sankar Mitra elaborated to Science Daily, “Basically the replication train is coming and the cowcatcher is in front to see if any damage is present. If it finds such damage, the train moves backward, you repair it, and the train starts moving forward again.” (Yale Scientific)
The absence of a 'cowcatcher' at the front of the train also made the accident more likely. (Transport Network)
