Signal wiring flaw prompts daily CSX inspections
CSX Corp conducts 250 daily inspections of railroad signals after a near miss in Fredericksburg last week. A deteriorated TC Green wire caused a false yellow signal while a Virginia Railway Express train boarded passengers four tenths of a mile away, prompting dispatchers to halt an Auto Train. No injuries. Officials note many wires remain in service nationwide.
