Editing Wrong-side failure (section)

== False alarms ==
Railway authorities usually give the drivers and signalmen the [[wikt:benefit of the doubt|benefit of the doubt]] and investigate whether a wrong-side failure is the cause of an accident. This occurred with the [[Hinton train collision]], but investigations soon showed that a wrong-side failure was not the cause.

The [[2008 Chatsworth train collision]] was determined to be human error, not wrong-side failure as a few initially said.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/01/federal-investigators-today-expanded-on-their-reasoning-for-concluding-a-metrolink-engineer-who-records-show-had-been-text-m.html |first1=Robert J. |last1=Lopez |first2=Rich |last2=Connell |title=Investigators: Light was red in 2008 Chatsworth train crash, despite what witnesses said |date=21 January 2010 |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |accessdate=4 January 2018 |name-list-style=amp}}</ref>
