Maybe some riveting rivets would help

You'd think that a railroad wouldn't need to make their switches as watchable as Desperate Housewives given that they keep the people who look out for them alive, but I guess not:


To prevent train wrecks like one in January that killed nine people and forced thousands from their homes for days in Graniteville, S.C., railroads should equip tens of thousands of switches in the United States with devices that will "compellingly capture the attention of employees," the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday. [Emphasis added]

How do you make a railroad switch compelling? Strong plotlines from milepost to milepost? Better charachter development of the electrical equipment? I would suggest big explosions, but that's more of a consequence of failure than a design feature.
