Make sure your Damping line under Spring looks like this;Spring (
Stiffness ( 1e6N/m 5e6N/m )
Damping ( 1.2N/m/s 1.2e6N/m/s ) <-------------
Break ( 1.1e7N 1.1e7N ) )Add the /s to the damping parameter if it isn't already there....Also, try increasing the Break value. I usually set it to 5.1 or above.....seems to solve most problems. Give it a try & good luck

Along with increasing the Coupler Break value, per above, it may also be helpful to increase the DerailBufferForce value. I generally use 1000kN - the purists will tell you this is just AWFUL! I say it keeps my trains running. required increasing both values to get through the Cutbank Crossover Curse without derailment or coupler break. Could not operate train slow enough to get through, it has to do IIRC with train length. I've seen worse on other routes, places on a track where the cars literally jump up and down. DeraiBufferForce helps in that situation. Bing
