CSX signal aspects

Unread post by CAT345C »

Okay, I have seen High Green, Red (De da dee go and stop) and Yellow over Green for Appoarch medium as next signal is appoarch, and just red over yellow, then you have red-yellow-yellow, is this an appoarch slow? All I have ever heard it called was Appoarch Main to Siding at Somewhere. Is there a Appoarch Limited on CSX?

Or does it just go, from Green to Appoarch Medium to Appoarch to Stop?

Sounds like you have to have a libaray of books just to drive a train safely. Thanks for the info by the way. I am always studying these signals as I find them very interesting. :)
