They would hit at a combined speed of 100mph as that is the rate they are closing on each other, the force of of the impact, which is what I'm guessing you really want to know, is another matter entirely.

Is it true that if two cars collide while approaching each other at 60 mph that the impact is equivalent to one car hitting a solid steel wall at 120 mph?

No, when two cars collide while approaching each other at 60 mph, the impact would be equivalent to one car hitting a solid steel wall at 60mph.Newtons third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a car is traveling at 60 mph and hits a solid steel wall, the wall applies a force equal to 60 mph back toward the car. This is the same as if a car that is traveling at 60 mph hits another car traveling at 60 mph. In both scenarios, the car is traveling at 60 mph and at the point of collision a force equal to 60 mph is imparted on the car.

If the two railroads cars couple and move off together after collision what is there velociety?

This all depends how fast are each railroads cars moving in the beginning before the collision and how heavy each cars are. Also is the path a down hill or a straight away. So the heavier car would push the lighter one out of the way. Example: if you and your dad come running at each other, when you guys hit each other, your dad would send you flying because he is bigger and heavier than you. You need to be more specific.
