Talk:Harmelen train disaster

While the ladder crosser at the junction increase the length of conflicting trackage by a small amount, it is really doesn't make much difference.

More important are:
 * length of overlap from red signal to fouling point at junction.
 * for moderate cost there could have been two warning signals approaching junction, say a double yellow and a yellow.
 * in view of lack of ATP or ATB, there could have been two red signals protecting the junction, with a really long overlap from the first red to the fouling point.
 * special rules when there is fog, although this is really only required with kerosine lit mechanical signals.
