<p>[quote user="petitnj"]The engineer ignored the rule that says if you stop after a signal you have to proceed at restricted speed until you are sure of the aspect of the next signal. </p><p>This is not a fault of the system -- just a fatal mistake.[/quote]</p><p>When I referred to the news media being inclined to say the wreck was the fault of the system, I did not mean the system that is currently in place. I believe they will all jump on the bandwagon and blame the current system for <em>what it lacks</em>, and that would be automatic train stop or some type of feature that overrides negligent engineers and prevents trains from running into each other. Ultimately, they will blame the government for failing to have required this feature. And I would not be surprised if they turn the engineer into a victim of this government failure. </p>
