The attitude makes me wonder though - Did your train run the damn red or not! Yes or No. What the hell difference does it matter how, or why. So what then is there to interpret, other than did it in fact happen - or not.
I could bore you with hours of discussion about improperly arranged signals, changes to locations and not specified, erratic signal behavior, mis-read locomotive tapes, errant cab signaling, improperly given and misunderstood flagging instructions, track authourity misgiven under joint authority, insulated joints re-installed twelve feet on the approach side to a signal, Control Point signs missing, damaged and defaced, left hand signals pointing off line of sight so they look like a right hand signal to the adjacent track...but unless you've walked a mile in our shoes, you're talking out of your ass.
And if it did, lives were endangered. Do you really think those who's paid responsibility, is to prevent just that, should not be held accountable when it still happens. So just how would you propose that such accountability be expressed - if not by beech time for a failure to do what you were paid to do.
What can you say about lives being endangered about a red block violation that occured at walking speed when no other trains are within twenty miles? Calm down. You sound just like a lower management jack-off trying to make her/himself look good, but not having the slightest clue about anything that goes on east of the Xerox machine.
The only mitigating circumstance I can think of, is that it somehow went red in your face (it was not red when you passed the next signal back); but most modern signal installations record that sort of stuff anyway, so there is not much open to any "interpretation" there either.
Really? Wow. Yep it's FAILSAFE, all-right! You need to start reading these reports:

As to "Job Insurance". Are you talking about state um-employment? No one that gets beached or "fired for cause" ever gets a dime from them. So I'm not sure what this "Job Insurance" is.

Get with the program. Do you REALLY think these major railcarriers play fair and honestly?
