The way the present signal system clears, there is usually not enough distance between the rear of a train and the signal immediately behind it. Should a train stop immediately pas it and the following train accelerate to something close to 30 MPH the potential exists for a rear end collision should any sort of brake failure occur. Having been a M/M ad later a T/D and trainmaster, I have personally observed such situations. |
