[quote user="BaltACD"] [quote user="Bucyrus"] But there are 100,000 possible visible hazards where their sight distance is more that than the stopping distance of trains.  Even Wabash says that he speeds up if he sees a trestle on fire.  There are many hazard too close to stop in time, but if you hit them, the slower the better. [/quote]Your perfect visual operating system is defined on the railroad in two words.... Restricted Speed. Nothing more and nothing less.  A speed that will permit stopping the train within 1/2 the range of vision. [/quote] I understand restricted speed, but are you saying that trains are ordered to run at restricted speed when visibility is limited by fog?  I thought the whole thrust of this conversation was that if trains have clear cab signals, they can run full track speed even if fog is so thick that the visibility is zero. So, what does restricted speed have to do with anything in this topic?
