 The mail train driver claimed that the distant signal was clear when he passed it, however as there was a thick fog at the time, he did not sight the home signal, which was against him, until the train was right upon it.At a subsequent trial, the driver of the mail was brought before the Goulburn Circuit Court charged with manslaughter.At that trial, the night officer at Exeter gave evidence to the effect that the down distant signal was in fact at danger at the time the mail train passed.
