Emergency stop
Although the source text doesn't specifically say 'emergency', I feel it's implied in the context.

issued an immediate order to stop (the/all trains)
is what almost certainly happened

gave an immediate signal to stop
for the archetypal BE wording. Knowing about railway "signals to stop", for the average punter the word "immediate" suggests emergency, and the driver would certainly emergency action. No unexpected signal to stop would ever be given on any other circumstances.
