I think that the torpedo would be accompanied by a fusee (flare) -- the fusee would have a burning time long enough for the flagman to walk back to the train when recalled. The torpedo would be backup in case the engineer and fireman were doing something inside the cab instead of watching the track (there are legitimate reasons why they might be otherwise occupied).
