Simulation experiment of the rigid pipe suffered from oceanic forces and buffer station were done. Experimental result were contrasted to the academic calculated value.

The New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, said the train was travelling at a "fairly slow speed" when it failed to stop on time and struck a buffer at the station.

There is a transition station in orbit, a rail derailment and k-buffer, the buffer between the rail in the orbit and the derailment.
