Many railroads had "burnout protection" in ABS territory. If a signal light was burned out, it draws no amperage, and was wired so that under that condition the signal in advance displayed a yellow (approach) indication. On one such railroad, a Trainmaster figured he could put a milk can over the green indication on a signal, thus making it dark. But the train got a clear signal on the last one in advance, and came busting around the corner to find a dark one. After it came to light what had caused the engineer to make an emergency stop, the TM was shown the error of his ways . . . And, no, it wasn't me. Old Timer
