Only 3 people matter when shunting a train, those are the Signalman(If there is one) , the driver of the train and the guard /person ic the movement.
Anyone else should not be there as the shunter/guard gives the driver such instructions as required to work the train.
A safety critical job brief should have taken place by the person i/c with the driver of the train so the driver was aware of the moves to be made.
Seems to me there were too many chiefs and not enough indians.
