Was the siding in that area long enough to hold any length of commuter train or freight train? That is, if two trains approach each other, wuld the etrolinik have needed to use the siding because the freight was too long?

"Basically the dispatcher fucked up and caused the Metrolink to be hit by a Stop signal, however this was such an out of the ordinary occurrence the Metrolink Engineer just saw what he was accustomed to seeing and blew through the interlocking as if it was clear."

If true, a screw up by both parties. The safe thing to do woulfd have been to respect the Stop signal and call the Control Center: "Did you put another train on my track?"
