"LGB safety system failed." Do any of the technical experts here know what that means?

Sounds like they let a train go through a red signal. That is not good.

I guess it's actually LZB: Linienzugbeeinflussung

I know at the railroads I've dealt with, if an engineer takes a train even a foot past a red signal they will get 3 months off without pay. If they do it again, their railroading career is over.

The guys who direct train traffic, when they get burned out, they go to the lower stress job of Air Traffic Controller.

This is the second serious rail accident in Spain this year.
This seems to have uncovered a real problem.
