That is the train *was* on the siding and passed a RED signal and broke a trailing switch to get off of it.Now maybe there *should* have been a tail track aimed at a bumper that would have prevented the train from entering the main line, but that there was not, and seldom ever is. Only place I have seen arrangements like that was on mountains, so that a train approaching too quickly (as in a runaway) will be shunted into a huge sand pile instead of continuing on the mane lion.
