Study Notes
Signal Aspects and Indications
- Warner Signal at Green (OFF) allows the driver to proceed at normal speed.
- Warner Signal at ON requires cautious approach to the next signal, preparing to stop.
- Multiple aspect signalling does not guarantee specific information at station approaches.
- Distant Signal at Green (OFF) informs the driver to expect the next stop signal to be OFF; subsequent stop signals may vary.
- 4-Aspect Colour Light Stop Signal at OFF (green light) permits the driver to proceed, indicating the next stop signal is also OFF.
- Yellow aspect signals caution; the driver must proceed with caution and prepare to stop at the next signal.
- Attention aspect is displayed by two yellow lights vertically, indicating to proceed but be ready for restricted speed due to upcoming conditions.
Signal Location and Requirements
- At least one stop signal and one permissive signal are necessary for safe train separation.
- Stop signals are strategically located at various points, such as approach and departure ends of stations and junctions.
- Naming of stop signals is essential to avoid confusion while identifying their locations and functions.
Location of Signals
- Signals must be positioned for optimal visibility and prevent misinterpretation of signals.
- Typically placed on the left-hand side of the tracks; alignment should avoid overlap with other light signals.
- Signals should have adequate sighting distances and operational efficiency, ensuring compliance with regulations.
- Warner Signals can be positioned on their own post or below the main stop signal, maintaining strict operational limitations.
Signal Types and Placement
- Warner Signal placement requirements include:
- 1200 meters behind the first stop signal.
- Positioned appropriately concerning other signals to ensure visual clarity.
- Outer Signal serves as the first stop signal, located at least 400 meters from potential line obstructions.
- Home Signal must be placed to provide adequate protection for adjacent lines, close to the first set of facing points.
- Routing Signal should be positioned in rear of the point it protects.
- Starter Signal should be at least 400 meters ahead of the Home Signal, with specific placements for converging lines.
- Intermediate Starter and Advance Starter placement is crucial, with specifications concerning their distances from connection points.
Review Questions
- Differences between Warner signal and Distant signal focus on their operational purposes and indications.
- Advantages of Colour Light Signals over Semaphore signals include clarity, visibility, and lower maintenance.
- True/False statements require understanding of signal functions, indicating potential common misconceptions.
- Fill-in-the-blank exercises emphasize knowledge of signaling territory and aspects relevant to signal operation.
