A non-revenue train ran a red signal outside Smithsonian. According to the article, OCC stopped the train after it ran the signal.
Questions:
1) I assume the only way a train can run a properly functioning red signal is if it's mode 2-2 or mode 3, which cuts out ATP?
2) Is it normal for a non-revenue train to be in mode 2-2 or mode 3 on the main lines? If not, why would it be (other than operator stupidity)?
3) How does OCC stop the train??
4) I'm pleasantly surprised someone in OCC was actually paying attention.
