Temporary Speed Limits Question (ideas)

[Anonymous]

This could arguably be more appropropriate for the model RR forums,
but since there seem to be more railroad industry folks on this forum,
I thought I'd get the most real-world input here (no offense to the NMRA
as I'm a member as well).

I installed a new pair of switches to create a cut-over between my main
and a branch line on my model railroad (eliminates two reverse moves
for train operations). I left the ballast looking fresh and "new" (mostly
because I'm lazy on this occasion and don't want to weather it), so it
looks like some very recent MOW work has been completed.

I'd like to add some trackside signage to represent the railroad's wanting
crews to proceed at reduced speed along the main and branch lines
where the construction was performed. I'm imagining this would be
done on a temporary basis until the signals are upgraded and the
operating rules for that division are amended to dictate a speed limit of
10 MPH when using the new crossing-over.

I know I've seen yellow rectangular signs along a ROW someplace in the
midwest and being told that was a temporary indication to all crews to
proceed at restricted speed. Might anyone have ideas on some
temporary signage for this situation?

take toothpics with some yellow construction paper and draw and orange diagonal linefrom the upper right to the lower left corner on the paper. if its a ho layout put it about5 sections away both ways.

Sounds easy enough (I'll scale it to N scale, though). Is this a general railroad
standard or specific to a particular line?

[JoeKoh]

its just a practice from csx lines diffrent roads have diffrent signs. i have ho scale.
