QUOTE: Originally posted by trainboyH16-44 I know!!! Red over green - Diverging clear, like you said. Yellow over green - Proceed, and approach next signal at medium speed Yellow over yellow - Proceed, and approach next signal at low speed Took a Canadian to get 'em, eh? [:p} I take it the second shot was of a GO train, and the third was of a Via train with the old Ocean cars? I believe the first SD45 was made in 1965, and they went into production either that year or '66. Production continued until 1972, when they were superceeded by the -2 series.

That nearly brings me to tears... No news from me because my parents are in Greece for their 25th wedding anniversary, so I'm not doing any railfanning or anything interesting like that..but tomorrow I'll be walking along the CP main from Eldon (MP 106.3) to Morant's Curve (MP 112) but my parents have both the cameras, so there probably won't be any pics - But if I see anything interesting, I'll tell you, and my grandmother will have her digital.. Any everybody here: Either join, or if you already have, start posting, my forum is on it's way out! http://hickssforum.proboards99.com/index.cgi

QUOTE: Originally posted by CMSTPP Unforunately you did not get the second one, yellow over green. In the Canadian national rules this states that it is also a diverging clear or Approach medium ( not to be confused with medium approach). What this states is the next signal is your diverging clear. The green indicates the line is clear of trains to proceed on the diverging route. The diverging route must be taken at what ever speed is required by the railroad.

QUOTE: Originally posted by wctransfer Well, the GP35's were being produced, or close to, the time that the SD45 was. So, the geeps, i guess may have had to play "catch up". Max, i thought those units on the DMIR only had the SD45-2 frame, but were classified as SD40-3's like the tunnel motors? Alec
