The National Transportation Safety Board makes the following safety
recommendation to the Class I Railroads:

After reviewing the circumstances of the January 18, 2006, railroad
collision near Lincoln, Alabama, modify, as necessary, your initial and
recurrent training and operating rules to emphasize to your employees
and the crews of other railroads operating on your territory that any
signal that appears to display extra lighted aspects in a signal head
should be treated as an improperly or imperfectly displayed signal.
