Car Stops and Bumping Posts are for use on flat track only at a slow speed (1-3 mph).

Car Stops are not equal in stopping capacity to a Bumping Post. Limit use of car stops to lightly travelled side tracks, where one to two cars maximum are being moved.
Provide ample space between car stops and object to be protected.
Use a signalman to guide locomotive engineer as cars approach stop or post. Repeated impacts will weaken stops and posts.

Car stops are sold in single units but should always be used in pairs.

For car storage tracks and lightly used loading tracks.

Avoid contact between rail car being moved and nearby parked rail cars. Provide ample distance between stops and car.

Provide additional stopping protection if wheel chocks/brake can't hold car steady
