Thankyou for the information. Now I know a bit more. It is great to learn this, as I can now see how different railways do the job differently, yet still get the job done. In my part of the world (Western Australia), for this type of working for the protection of workmen on or near the lines, we would have a 'Gang Warning' board (yellow) along with a max speed through their work site placed similar to that here at Rochelle and in some cases, detonators maybe used. A RED sign/Board/Flag is NOT passed, unless it is first removed, and then only by the person whom erected it. As it indicates, Danger ahead do not proceed. This is used for the protection of a Work site due to track removal, major trackworks etc, yes, unsafe for the passage of trains. Work sites are published in Weekly Notices and also Special Train Notices. We very rarely get held up by a Red sign, if we do then it would be for a few minutes, unless the Gang have had a major breakdown of equipment then it could last a bit later, but as I say, these are few and far between. Catch all again another day, I will get back to making music with my Australian built Dash 9 GE's and head off across the Nullarbor Plain to earn another Dollar. JR.
