[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by virgintrainsdriver</i> <br /><br />As i have'nt seen your signalling system i cant really comment, but it sound's like you can tell what speed the junction is from the signal's? Good idea ...but i personally think lots of different speeds and signal combination's could be distracting especially if there is another train not far in front too. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />In CTC territory the signals tell you what speed to travel at, the most permissive signal "Clear" allows you to run at track speed, all other signals have speed limits attached to them. <br /> <br />Slow Speed = 15MPH <br />Medium Speed= 30MPH <br />Limited Speed = 45 MPH <br /> <br />Here's a link to all the Canadian signals: <br />http://www.tc.gc.ca/railway/Rules/CRORprint.htm#RULE <br /> <br />The signals aren't really distracting, they are telling us what we can do, and that's pretty much what we're getting paid for.
