I'd like to see lightweight removable boattails on the end of the last car on long distance express trains. It should be easy to take off at the terminal station and put it on another train that's heading out. With speeds of 80-160 km/h here, and over 200 km/h in western Europe (and I don't mean TGV), maintained for hundreds of kilometers, the boattail and the extra work around it would quickly pay for itself.
