Wayne- <br /> <br />I can't answer your question with any great clarity. Signals are one of the most confusing subjects having to do with railroading. (to me anyway) As you have already guessed, there is some variation between railroads both in the aspect and indication of the signals, as well as the physical structure of the signals. <br /> <br />There are a number of good books on the topic, but I have an easier and cheaper solution. Below is a link to the website of Al Krug. Al is a BNSF engineer. He not only knows whereof he speaks on many train operating and mechanical topics, but he can explain them to non pros like me. <br /> <br />His explanations of signals, train brakes and other topics are great. Also on this forum are many knowledgeable professional railroaders who could and would be happy to explain signals, but is a huge topic for a forum post. <br /> <br />http://www.alkrug.vcn.com/home.html <br /> <br />Mark
