McManus of Providence testified in Westerly Rhode Island that he swung a red lantern from the Bradford tower to stop the Gilt Edge express, delaying the local train after the fatal Bradford crash that killed five and wounded 30.

McManus says signals were set to caution and danger before the crash.
