You are way off on your running time differential.In order for a train to enter a staion at 10 MPH, it would have to reduce speed far before said station so that it enters the station at 10 MPH. and maintain it for 600' give or take. This backs up trains behind it as well as it take the signal blocks behind it longer to clear. I know at least one case where a train was entering a staion 10 MPH under flagging protection and someone still jumped in front and was killed. |
