## Resource

A freight train derailed near a level crossing after its barriers failed to lower due to maintenance — and the driver missed a red signal while speeding past a yellow warning. Though sober and cleared of drugs, the driver was suspended and is now off-track after a similar incident last year. A technician involved in the crossing’s maintenance also resigned after testing positive for drugs. The route lacks in-cab warning systems, placing full responsibility on drivers — and the lack of clear procedures for restoring crossings after maintenance was a glaring oversight. Two new safety measures are now in the works: review maintenance protocols and enhance driver vigilance. The rail company says it’s already reviewing procedures and researching ways to keep drivers alert. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
