Would a series of giant signs as follows have prevented this accident?
"30MPH CURVE 2 miles"
"30MPH CURVE 1.5 miles"
"30MPH CURVE 1 mile"
"30MPH CURVE .5 mile"
While such accidents are rare, it is surprising to know that the main protection against them is engineer knowing where he is and not missing or misreading one or two wayside signs.
