If a licensed driver runs through a red light and gets pulled over by a police officer, what happens? First offense: it's usually a ticket or warning, and the driver continues on his way. If a railroad engineer runs a red signal light, the resulting penalty is far harsher. Even an inadvertent running of a red-signal, the engineer is subject to suspension without pay for at least 30 days - even on a first offense.
