I was thinking.. (can't you smell the wood burning?) Forgetting about Idiotic Drivers, People who can't Listen to RR Crossing lights, and all the other Babbs out there, But This time i'm thinking of the the honest Joe's who's car stall on the Tracks, and get hit by a Train Deux Montagnes just saw this happen. Guys car stalled on the Railway, Wasn't enough time to contact the Train, and the Train Slammed into the Car, the people were safetly out though. I went up there to look, and see if i could have found Anyhting that coulkd have been changed and Indeed I did.. Reports of the Derailment, And the Statemnet the engineer Said, Subtracting the Swearing Say somehting like "It was a clear signal" So i went up and had a llok myself, and Right After the Crossing, Indded there was a signal, like about 65% of crossings have, Signals either directly to the Left or the Right of the crossing. So, I drew this conclusion out, Should the signal have been chnaged from Green to Red, The Train wouldn't have hit the car., and had enough time to stop. Now, you'll have to understand, I know a fair bit about Signals and how they work, But once inside that Silver logic Box, I would be so lost. My Question is this, Why can't we install a button in each signal box, OR jsut the ones near a crossing, that a police officer could just press and That would change the signal to Red so the Train engineer could see? Perhaps install it indie the Logic Box, and when the police come they can unlock it and press. They'll see the Red Light at the Crossing before they see the car. Just wondering, perhaps theres a major Flaw i don't see...
