They can't stop in time to yield to road traffic anyway.</span><span style="color:#000000;">[/quote]</span><span style="color:#0000ff;">But they can stop to take names and notify authorities and render human assistance.</span><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">[/quote]</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I see what you mean, but couldn't that human assistance be called out as an automatic response to a locomotive colliding with something significant? Generally, it would seem that taking the crew off of a train would require added auxiliary support. ie: Lots of guys in trucks spread out along the way to take names, render assistance, replace knuckles, etc. </span></p>
