Driver of camera train run a red at first level crossing and failed to decress speed. Where was the ATS or the controller saying train had spadded the level crossing signal. SPAD means Signal Passed At Danger | |

The other train (the one where the guys jumped out) was to blame. They creeped past the stop point.

Camera Train had one red signal at level crossing and again at points where accident occured. If NTSB has same signaling as us camera train definitely at fault in my opinion as I saw red signals. And hell why didn't the Cabin Controller alert both trains of impending accident. Must have been failure of RTC (remote train control signals | |

Country: | I also thought the other train was at fault, if you look just before the collision, the road is set for the camera train to enter what looks like a siding. My first thoughts was the other train had the SPAD, as like Sys says you can see it is only approaching slowly, like he over ran the signal. Either that or saome one in the control office seriously f*cked up!

Country: | You look at first approach signal level crossing damn sure its red Wild. Unless I am seeing things appears red to me. Second train spadded its signal as well. Can only assume major signal problems | |
