Everybody tries to arbitrarily apply signal aspects and indications from other roads to this situation when they are as useless as trying to fit Ford rods in a GM product. Most of the indications listed here are bogus......slow, med, etc. speed......crap! I have a current UP SSI in front of me. The double yellow's indication states:Proceed prepared to advance on the diverging route at next signal at prescribed speed thru turnout. Name: Approach Diverging. Yellow Green: Proceed. Speed passing next signal must not exceed 50. Name: Approach clear 50. In all of these scenarios posed by the resident non railroaders, nobody differentiates an absolute from intermediate signal (big difference when it is red). The bottom line is KNOW YOUR TERRITORY. As I have said before, Eastern RRs and Western RRs signaling aspects and indications share very little in common. If somebody comes on here asking what a Red/Flashing yellow means on the NS, I wouldn't jump up and say, "oh that means Diverging approach medium," because that is what its name is on my RR. If you are gonna deliver info you should be accurate about it.
