Hello. I am trying to write an action/adventure story in which cyber-sabateurs have infected the central routing computer of fictional railroad station near Washington, D.C. with a virus that allows them to override safeties and create a situation where two trains will collide. The hero of the story has to prevent this from happening by diverting one of the on-coming trains. Is there a way to manually override the computer? I have this image in my mind of the hero putting all his weight on this huge lever, bt I want this to be as accurate as possible and any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Polgana
