***Likely subjects of their inquiry, given the circumstances, would include whether signals and switches functioned properly and, if they did, why one or the other of the train crews did not observe the signals.

I have no idea about ran a red signal. Engineer men be supposed to having be honest about theirs blind colors problem. Red and green light look likely a white light.

My wife told me that her father has a problem about blind colors - wrong clothes style - oppose color clothes, "target neither arrow" tri-color lights, horizontal traffic lights (real confuses which ones left or right traffic lights another different states) but no problem about vertical traffic lights, he knew top is white as red, middle is (?) as yellow and bottom is white as green.
