Its name is "Advanced Warning Sign". These signs are placed about 2 miles prior to a work limit or slow order. It reminds the engineer of the order ahead. He already has train orders to tell him what to do normally. If we come across one of these signs and have no train orders covering it, we have proceedures to follow. Two miles down the track, you should find another sign; if there is a slow order, a solid yellow sign; if a work authority, a solid red sign. The work authority involves getting permission from the foreman in charge of the work. If you have a scanner, you will hear the approaching engineer calling the "employee in charge" for permission to proceed. The distance involved between the signs is to give the engineer time to brake the train safely.
