Our question, what's the best or worst advice you've ever given or received?

206803 rock.

We go to the train tracks.

A signaler decided to stop applying signal protection for a farm crossing

ahead of a train crash after the advice of a more experienced colleague,

according to an investigation.

Now, the findings come following an investigation into a train and agricultural trailer and the crash that happened on a farm crossing on May 22nd last year.

Basically, if you are on a train going down this road, you call the owner of that farm.

Oh, to let them know.

You're coming, or vice versa.

Or the person on the tractor calls the

director the signaller, so to speak, and says, hey, am I clear to cross this piece of farmland

to go on the other side of the tracks at this point? All right. So a number of trains passed

through the section without incident that morning. The rail accident investigation branch report reflected that before the signaler at the station received a call from

the Norden Farm Crossing, a train, a farmer called to cross with a tractor and trailer at 10.03 a

a.m. I guess there were no trains either accepted or in the section at this time.

So the signaller immediately granted permission to cross. Another three crossings were received

between 1009 and 1021. Now during a fifth granted crossing request at 1026, the signaler asked how

much longer the farm would be using the crossing

that day and was told that intermittent requests would be made for the next couple of hours.

Now, after this call, the signaler decided to stop applying signal protection for any further

requests that morning, saying they could basically eyeball it. Okay, Based on something that his superior told him.
