Accident

28.10.1997

C22/1996R/S56

Recommendation

The portable maintenance radios of service railcar drivers (and drivers of other track machines) should feature the option of line-radio listening, as the drivers are frequently outside the driver’s cabin and therefore fail to hear calls by train control operators or remote control operators.
