OVERTAKING TRAINS*
This picture shows the unfortunate situation after two trains found themselves on the same line, going in opposite directions. The problem the two drivers faced was how to pass each other, with no aid but the short spur line, which was only long enough to take either one truck or one engine at a time.
There was only one driving unit on each train, but there was nothing to stop part of one train being temporarily hooked to the other train and pulled by it or pushed by it.
How would you advise the drivers?
