  1. I am an ex-career soldier and railroad enthusiast. What strikes me is not the use of obsolete equipment lit by gas, but the interlocking plant itself. By the date of the disaster railroad's around the world had employed mechanical, electro-mechanical and pneumatic interlocking systems for many years (Th e first patent was a British one of 1856) These made it IMPOSSIBLE to clear conflicting movements within the plant by preventing switches being thrown and signals cleared to a less restricting indication by what is best described as analog computer installations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlocking
