Another thing. It was tough for me to tell but is there a number plate on the first red signal he passes? According to CN rules, that's a restricting signal and he should've slowed down to no more then 20mph prepared to stop one half the distance of the oncoming train to give him enough time to come to a complete stop. Again, not sure how it's stated for the BNSF.

The first signal was definately red. By passing the red signal the dispacher's (or rtc) bord should've lit up and informed him that a train went past a red. The second signal, if you look was red over green. I'm not sure the meaning on the BNSF but if it's anything like CN (whom I work for), that signal is a diverging clear meaning the train was ok to cross over to avoid a head on collision. The oncoming train should've had a red signal. His fault for running that.

Since there's no radio audio, it's possible, but unlikely, that the RTC gave him permission past the red signal. In most cases though, even when given permission past a red signal, you're still supposed to stop before passing.

Interesting clip none the less.
