Should any emergency situation arise on board an Amtrak train, are there designated sections of track at which the trains are permitted to stop for an emergency? Kind of like designated pull-off areas for vehicles along roadways and bridges?
With the road analogy, I realize that vehicles can stop pretty much anywhere along a road for an emergency, unless the road terrain, pavement markings or signage dictate otherwise.
Or does the train stop anywhere along the tracks as quickly as possible?
