Polish term or phrase: Zazderzakowanie wagonu
Kontekst: Zdarzeniem może być nagłe zahamowanie składu manewrowego, w wyniku czego doszło do tzw. zazderzakowania wagonu, który po przejechaniu kilkudziesięciu metrów zsunął się w strefie zwrotnicy, co doprowadziło do jazdy widełkowej i jednej z tragicznych katastrof.

Explanation:
On sharp reverse curves, the buffers can get buffer-locked by slipping over—and onto the back of—an adjacent buffer. Although careful track design makes this occurrence rare, an accident at a Swiss station in the 1980s was caused by buffer-locked wagons. Buffer-lock could be caused on the very sharp switches by the older, rounded buffers. The newer buffers are rectangular and they are wider than they are tall. They are not as flat, so they rarely cause buffer-locking.

As noted above, following the 1887 RCH specification, the size of the buffer head was typically about twelve to fifteen inches diameter. When wagons were pushed through tight curves the standard circular shaped buffer heads could slip past each other, called 'buffer locking'. As the track straightened again the locked buffers exerted a sideways force which often resulted in damage to the wagons involved, sometimes in derailments - https://www.igg.org.uk/gansg/4-rstock/04arstock2c.htm

Wstawka ta jest konieczna, by nie dopuścić do sytuacji, w której osie podłużne sąsiednich wagonów będą do siebie równoległe, lecz przesunięte względem siebie (to może prowadzić do tzw. zazderzakowania, czego konsekwencją jest wykolejenie wagonów). - http://forum.modelarstwo.info/threads/moduły-moduł-stacji-ru... - post #25
