The Garratt had a safety problem in Western Australia when operating through a narrow-profile single-track tunnel. Should a Garratt stall in a narrow tunnel the crew could be trapped, since there was no route forward or backwards past the hot cylinders. A normal engine has hot cylinders at one end with an escape route at the other end. Two crew members died in Western Australia in the 1940s when an Australian Standard Garratt stalled in the state's only tunnel, the Swan View Tunnel.
