The DIB rule reminds engineers that they are approaching an interlocking and to be extra careful. It's most useful where MAS is over 40 as the engineer will be more likley to stop if he is surprised by a STOP signal.In this case the engineer was probably accustomed to going at 40mph out of the station and maintaining it around the bend. What should have jogged his memory might have faded into the background. Also, the DIB rule doesn't help if the STOP signal looks like an Approach for some reason to the engineer. |
