  • Report 00-101 Train Control Incidents Hi-Rail Vehicles and Trains Occupying
    Report 00-101 train control incidents hi-rail vehicles and trains occupying the same section of track and a collision various localities 17 December 1999 – 5 September 2000 Abstract On 17 December 1999, an incident occurred near Greymouth where a locomotive engineer was given permission by train control for his train to enter a section of track already occupied by a hi-rail vehicle. The driver of the hi-rail vehicle saw the train and was able to off-track in time to avert a collision. On 17 January 2000, train control gave permission for a group of hi-rail vehicles to on-track near Paerata in front of a passenger express train. The train collided with one of the hi-rail vehicles and pushed it some 300 m along the track. The hi-rail vehicle, which was unoccupied at the time, was destroyed in the collision. Another 2 incidents occurred where train control gave permission for trains to enter sections of track occupied by hi-rail vehicles: one on 14 February 2000 near St Andrews, and one on 5 September 2000 near Woodville. Neither of these 2 incidents resulted in collisions. Given the similar issues arising from each incident, all 4 were combined into this one report. Safety issues identified included: · the repeated non-adherence to basic train control techniques taught during training and covered by procedures in the operating code · inadequate auditing and assessment of train controller performance · train controllers not using, nor being required to use, signal “blocking commands” as a defence against them issuing conflicting instructions to track users · the potential for train controllers to report for duty when not fit to do so.

In fact, the issue concentrates more on the railway routes with a small map ofNew Zealand and the route depicted in red with a large scenic vista and a tiny train "somewhere in the design". Nevertheless, this is a successful set - possibly one ofthe most successful formulae New Zealand Post has come up with for a scenic issue. It should, we predict, be very popular. The set features six values: 40c Paremata, Wellington (The Overlander); 80c Southern Alps (The TranzAlpine); $1.00 (Canterbury (The Southerner); $1.20 Kaikoura Coast (The Coastal Pacific); $1.50 Central Hawkes Bay (The Bay Express); $1.80 Tauranga Harbour (The Kaimai Express). The stamps were printed by Southern Colour Print, Dunedin, by offset lithography in four process colours, except for the $1.80 which was printed in five colours, on 103 gsm gummed stamp paper with vertical mesh. Perforations gauge 14 x 14.25. Barcodes appear in the top and bottom selvedges, above and below columns 4 and 7 in all values.
