		To determine the integrity of the CTC at Trenton Junction at the time of the incident, the two slow release relays (2328SAGP and 2328S-1RP) that control the safety-critical aspects of the approach signal (2352S) were examined to determine whether they de-energized in the specified time during the occurrence (TSB Engineering Branch Report LP 037/99).
