Posted by Pelham Bay Dave on Tue Sep 18 14:32:12 2007, in response to Re: Another near-miss for track workers; train runs red signal, posted by RonInBayside on Tue Sep 18 13:56:20 2007. The set is when work is being done on the track one person is a flagman. He has a device on the proper side of the track where he/she places a Portable trip in the up position with a red flag or hold the red flag across the track. The T/O is suppose to stop one car lenght from the flagman. When everyone is clear the flagman hides the red and removes the trip and gives the T/O a proceed signal. The T/O then proceeds no faster then 10 MPH. There are many time and still to this day track workers set up improper flagging where the T/O may not have enough time to react to get the train under control. Now in that case the T/O is to report that situation to the Rail Control center and a TSS will investigate. |
