From the report:
Contributing to the accident was the Canadian National Railway’s use of after-arrival track authorities in nonsignaled territory, a procedure that is vulnerable to human error and lacks inherent safety redundancies ensuring consistent safe operation.

Short of returning to timetable and train order authority, or requiring all track to be signaled, what alternatives are there?
