Stop & Examine is a column in the large circulation industry magazine RAIL (magazine) in the UK, and alludes to a well known phrase is the rail industry.
The phrase Stop & Examine applies when say a train produces strange noises, which need to be examined after stopping to see what is wrong and whether the train can safely.
An example was with the Norton Fitzwarren accident when the guard of the second train heard some strange noises and pulled the brakes to stop his train, and on finding nothing proceeded. The first train had in the meantime run off the rails and 27 people were killed.
There used to be a thread about Stop & Examine but User:SchuminWeb deleted it without giving others a chance to vote on delete/keep. This thread has to do with safety, where normal people err on the side of safety, which would be a reason for keeping this thread alive.

The Stop and Examine[citation needed] rule on railways allows, if not requires, train crew to stop a train if they hear strange sounds or vibrations. Strange sounds can sometimes indicate serious problems like derailed or broken wheels.
Accidents
Failure to implement the Stop and Examine rule contributed to the Eschede train disaster[citation needed] of 1998, killing 101 people. A passenger notified the conductor of something that went wrong, but the conductor decided to examine the problem first instead of stopping the train because this was company policy.
