What should you do if you encounter a signal displaying a stop indication?

Encountering a signal that displays a stop indication requires immediate action to ensure safety and compliance with railway regulations. Stopping and waiting for further instructions is the appropriate response because it allows for the assessment of the situation and ensures that any potential hazards are addressed.

This procedure helps maintain the safety of both the train crew and any other trains on the line. By stopping, the conductor can communicate with dispatch or follow established protocols to determine the next steps, whether it's waiting for a clear signal or receiving guidance for proceeding safely. This approach adheres to safety standards and ensures that proper procedures are followed in potentially dangerous situations.
