ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

The way you're talking you're assuming that a blocked sensor would result in a train getting through and some catastrophic event could occur - when in fact, a blocked sensor would give a false positive - that is, "Train too fat" and it would have been stopped.

I'll leave this post up for a few hours then likely delete both it and my tweets, thanks to your reaction.

I think you missed my point...  I agree people make mistakes.  I was just very surprised that they didn't see the error,  thats all...  I was actually congratulating you on your enthusiasm for the project..  I will keep my accolades to myself next time..
