Statement–Courses of Action (rail disruption & contingency): Ten coaches of a passenger train have derailed, blocking <em>both</em> pairs of railway tracks on the section; which course(s) of action logically follow—(I) immediately dispatch men and equipment to clear the tracks, and (II) divert all trains in both directions via alternative routes?

  • Course I: send teams and machinery to clear tracks immediately.
  • Course II: divert traffic both ways to alternate routes.

Step 1: Course IRemoves the physical blockage; essential for restoration.

Step 2: Course IIMaintains operations by re-routing until normalcy returns.

Verification/AlternativeRailway emergency protocols routinely do both in parallel: clear + divert.
