Safety must be almost non-existent in the US if this can happen!
I still don't get it though. If the driver passed a red signal and thereby gained access to the main line, surely the points would have been set against him? Wouldn't he have de-railed? And if he was already on the main line, and had stopped at a red signal, then he would still have been in the path of the freight train.
Memo to self; "If ever in the US, do not travel by train".
