Train Driver Failed to Stop for Red Light

A train driver passed a red light before a collision with another train in which 19 people died, and controllers failed to notice until it was too late, investigators said. A spokesman for the Norwegian National Rail Administration said it was not known why the driver failed to stop. Both engineers died in the crash Tuesday. The passenger trains were heading toward each other for four minutes along a single line before controllers spotted a computer alarm just 35 seconds before the collision about 100 miles north of the capital, Oslo. There was no sign of a failure in the signaling system, officials said.
