Ah, the crew should have just used the standard response to a missed stop that is used here.
I promise to stop there twice tomorrow.
$100,oo fine if you misses a stop in smog hollow now.
WORSE, if you overshoots and then attempts to set back.
The good ole days rule book did permit setting back after an overshoot, BUT ONLY if the rear wagon was still next to the platform ramp.
And not in automatic signalled territory.
Setting back is VERBOTEN in the smog hollow underground.
You needs special permission to attempt that, today being a Special Proceed Authority.
A following train can be right behind you providing NO room for setting back.
Well, it was a SLEEPER train, the cattle were probably all snoozing anyway so would not have noticed the missed stop.
HA!
I presume that the Tailgunner pulled the emergency brake.
Steve.
