Well kenneo , First thing number plates do not need to be displayed on the signals , that is why we have mile post markers, those are very important. If any thing is missing like a advance warning sign or a temporary speed restriction we still have to follow our train orders that we received before the trip , in return we contact the train dispatcher and his instructions are applied . A intermediate signal that is red = You do NOT need to stop![:D] You just proceed @ 15 mph (Do not forget about the crossings you are blocking , people are in a hurry these days and they will let you know !...lol ) And don't forget if you "run through" a red signal that is a positive signal , get your grip (bag) your going home ! [:0] This is why everyone one that is a conductor or engineer has to be qualified on that certain piece of track. You MUST know were you are or you do NOT go! Signals do have safe guard systems if they fail we go to the DTC system Direct Traffic Control unlike the TCS Traffic Control System we were doing. Also if a signal is dark (burnt out) stop @ an absolute signal A intermediate signal you can proceed @ restricted speed w/o stopping . The signals have a lot of different meanings (aspects) that you must know , the will warn you , way ahead of time to speed up or slow down. Kenneo those were some great questions. I did not thing anyone that was not working for the RR would even have a clue to that info. Good job ![:D]
