Brit steam on a heritage railway.



It seems that, on the British mainline railways, a safety engine is required on the other end of the train in case the steam locomotive shits the bed. On the heritage railways, they can run on their own.

  2. Same here its an who owns the track and who is responsible for
    both safety and for the mainline more importantly schedule.

    For mainline a stoppage may hang up commuters or manifest loads.

    Seems similar things happen here in USA. Likely in part due to
    track access systems(electronic).

    Eck!
