The scenario I presented has two red signals behind the leader's rear. The signal further from the leader's rear is at least 300 ft distant from the leader's rear. Moreover this signal has its tripper up, unlike the signal immediately behind the leader's rear. The emergency stopping distance is 208 ft; the service brake stopping distance is 264 ft. Both miss the leader. |
