In the end, to top it off, Murphy made the train stop exactly on the intersection.

The MOW Foreman made a boo boo, the equipment needs to be cleared from the track before giving a clear signal to the dispatcher, that hurt him of his job.

@yynnmmbb Trains aren't required to slow up for blind corners unless they are operating at 'restricted speed; which this one wasn't. The train crew on this commuter train were operating under 'signal indication' (This line is equipped with a track signal system - CTC.), and were not at fault in this crossing accident. The blame lays with the MOW crews. (Track forces.)

@hierlman 'Wavehopper100' is correct. This train crew had received permission from the track foreman to proceed by his Rule 42 red flag & through his working limits. There was NO Rule 42 violation. The failure occurred with the track forces who failed to be clear of the track with all of their equipment.

@Sven2Perroy The engineer placed the train into emergency braking approx. 4 seconds BEFORE striking the speed-swing at the crossing. The train then took approx. 22 seconds to stop - which for a train is quick. Once in emergency braking you have NO control over where or when you stop. Unlike a car, you cannot modulate the braking. Where you stop - is where you stop!
