Sounds like something that should be seen. A simple signal at a different frequency from the signal frequencies would do it. I bet engineers sometimes think they are in ATC when they are not, so they wait for the cab signal hit, they don't get it, and they end up hitting the train. I bet ATC makes engineers less aware of wayside signals too. I blame WMATA accidents in manual mode on this, since the operators loose the skill of actually operating the trains. I read here that the French PARIS metro has drivers in manual modes at various times(off peak), to keep drivers trained. Maybe ATC desensitizes enginners to wayside signals?
