<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Well there is that rule about when in doubt, the safest course must be taken.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">It would be interesting to know what rules apply to passing that signal. You can have a track defect anywhere but having one giving a red at a home signal for a swing bridge when the bridge is supposedly lined, seems like it would pose a potentially higher risk to pass it as opposed to an unexplained red signal elsewhere. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I can see a possibility that the track signal fault may have been no different than faults common elsewhere. It is just this fault may have been caused by the settling foundation of the bridge. So in that case, the signal fault would have been like the canary in the coal mine. It would have alerted to a problem that was deadly, but invisible. </span></p>
