I'll just add that maybe you're not clear on what the purpose of railroad Job Insurance really is. It's not something like malpractice insurance. Rather, it's to provide an income to a suspended or dismissed railroad employee after he or she has been removed from service for an alleged rule, CFR or company policy violation. Railroads don't have a "suspended with pay" scenario.
There can be a lot of reasons why a crew gets by a red signal. Not all are the crew's fault. That's one of the advantages of working for a railroad that has a Collective Bargaining Agreement. Without it, the employee is at the mercy of the railroad. The CBA also provides for an appeals process, which can be quite lenghy.
