For tracks with speeds under 30 mph, no need for additional locking on hand throw switches.barnstormer wrote:Exactly how the service track comes into play, he didn't say. (Could put electric unlocks at the switches on both ends of the service track)

The new signals will probably conform to "Seaboard" rules, and "Lunar White" will be restricting.Doktor No wrote:No it will show restricting or stop. Yellow into non signaled territory is restricting.
Seaboard is what they have been using on all the GR sub (and most if not everywhere systemwide) for replacements.CSX_CO wrote:The new signals will probably conform to "Seaboard" rules, and "Lunar White" will be restricting.Doktor No wrote:No it will show restricting or stop.

I was gonna say, with Seaboard rules, a yellow over red on a dwarf is a slow approach. Then I remembered the signals in the area Dok is talking about are likely still C&O rules, so that would infact be a restricting.CSX_CO wrote:The new signals will probably conform to "Seaboard" rules, and "Lunar White" will be restricting.Doktor No wrote:No it will show restricting or stop.

Right, but with new installations they're generally opting to go with "Seaboard" indications. So, the 'new' signals will probably conform to "Seaboard" Rules, which CSX is adopting as the system standard.SD80MAC wrote:I was gonna say, with Seaboard rules, a yellow over red on a dwarf is a slow approach.

It's all up now...MQT3001 wrote:The answer for the EB Signals at Lamar is: Cantilever! The mast is up on the north side of the tracks just west of Lamar. No cantilever portion just yet.

Nice photo, Jon. What train is that coming in? I wonder what sort of signal setup there will be for WB moves out of Lamar....
And the distant future, railfans will lament the loss of that signal bridge as it's replaced by the latest and greatest signaling system. But at the rate technology is moving, that future may not be so distant.GP30M4216 wrote:What a sexy looking signal bridge! Wow!

Yes, the searchlight signals coming down have only been installed for what, 65+ years?J T wrote:And the distant future, railfans will lament the loss of that signal bridge as it's replaced by the latest and greatest signaling system.

Scratch that, it is on the Industry. Just got a peak from the Chicago Drive / 196 connectors. Slow speed only, at least 3 heads on the bottom. No other action on either end regarding signals.MQT3001 wrote:Another new signal in Wyoming. There is a new WAS Lamar, 3-head mast, but didn't get to look to see which track it is on. Pretty sure it wasn't the main or industry lead, can only show slow-speed aspects, as the top two heads are red only.
