Correct Answer:
A. Stop the train movement over the section and discuss with TLC for requirement of Tower Car or Diesel loco for section clearance.
Explanation:
In the event of a train stalling in an automatic signaling section due to an Overhead Equipment (OHE) failure, the immediate priority for a Section Controller is to ensure safety and organize recovery. Since the train cannot move under its own power and the power supply is compromised, all train movements within the affected section must be halted to prevent further complications. The controller should coordinate with the Traction Loco Controller (TLC) to evaluate the situation and arrange for assistance, such as a diesel locomotive or a Tower Car, to clear the stalled train from the section and restore normal operations.
