Rule 55

British Railways Rule 55 is a rule which persisted in the 19th and 20th century. It says that if a locomotive stops on a mainline, it MUST let the signalman be aware of the presence of the train, to prevent serious accidents. This rule is known to be broken in the Thomas & Friends episode "Henry's Forest", which was criticized by Awdry himself for not following the rule.
Rev. W. Awdry: "Henry's driver didn't obey Rule 55, which means that the driver should've warned the signaller! That's unrealistic!"

In matters of truth & justice,

there is no difference between large and small problems,

for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.

Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters
Can not be trusted in large ones either.
