Collect staff from moving train

NOTE: THIS COMMAND WILL ONLY WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH ASSETS 'SWO Controller Rule' <kuid:96148:94051>, 'Staff-transfer track, for avatar operation',<kuid:368725:90035> and 'Miniature Electric Staff Instrument' <kuid:368725:90069> and <kuid:368725:90074> or similar staff safeworking assets by ElStoko.
For a series of track sections protected by miniature electirc staff operation in NSW it was common for trains that did not require to stop at a section-ending station for the collection of the staff for the section exited and delivery of the staff for the next section to be exchanged simultaneously without the train stopping. This was facilitated by the attachment of a staff to a hoop that could be caught over the arms proferred by an engine crew member and the station 'Safeworking Officer' (SWO) <kuid:368725:15000> as the engine cab passed the officer on the station.
When a train engine enters a relevant 'Staff transfer track' at a section-ending station with an active SWO, the SWO may initiate collection of the staff from the train engine as it passes by at around 25-30km/hr. For the staff collection to succeed in a station yard where a SWO is active, the SWO must be standing on his staff-transfer footpath section that runs parallel to the train's staff-transfer track. For more detail see the 'decription' tag of 'Staff-transfer track, for avatar operation',<kuid2:368725:90035:3>.
This command covers the case where there is only a one way collection of a staff from the loco and the delivery of a staff to the loco for the next section will occur later after thee train has paused in the yard.
If there is no active SWO at a location, then the collected staff will transfer directly from the train loco to the miniature electric staff instrument (MESI).
