Talk:Glenbrook rail accident

Missing facts

Where did this occur? There are many Glenbrooks around the world. slambo 01:51, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

Ambiguity - Sources - Enquiries

The article states:

In the accident, an interurban passenger train passed a red signal ...

The most important factor was that the interurban picked up too much speed after passing the signal at stop, and was not able to see the rear of the long distance train

This is rather odd/ambiguous. The first bit above reads as if the interurban passed the signal at red in error, but in that case any speed would be too much speed. The seconds perhaps suggests that the interurban was instructed to pass the signal running at caution, but the article certainly doesn't say that.

Either way, some cited sources would be good.

I'm sure rail accidents in Australia attract official enquiries and reports; why does this article not reference any of them.

From that perspective, I think the article is only half-complete, so I'm reinstating stub status.

Came to a stop at red signal and restarted accoring to rules.

So far so good.
