<p>What was intended to happen during this operation? It appears that the video train ran that signal. But if it had stopped there, what would the second train have done? The video stops and restarts once between the first signal and the collision, so it is not evident how much distance there was between, so maybe there is some missing detail in that gap, but I cannot imagine what it would have been.</p><p>But in any case, the second train appeared to be in the process of running that switch. Did they also run past a red board like the first train? Or did the dispatcher throw that switch in an attempt to divert the first train in the hope that the second train would have been able to stop in the clear? Would that even be possible to throw the switch under such circumstances?</p><p>OR--maybe that first signal was not red over red??</p>
