Answer: Broken rail
Feedback:
Broken rail can require a train to move at restricted speed. Most broken rail is very difficult to see, especially from the cab of an engine. While a train is not required to stop in half the range of vision for broken rail, the crew must maintain a lookout for it and, if possible, stop prior to it.
