FIXED SIGNALS.

57. These are made by Semaphores, con- Semaphore
    structed with arms for Day Signals and Lamps signals.
    for Night Signals, attached to a White Post.
    The Day Signal is always made by an arm
    painted Red, on the left side of the post as
    seen by the Driver of the approaching Train.
    Each Semaphore arm and Lamp will give
    two signals only - "Danger," Stop; and
    "Clear," Go on.

58. The arm set thus, hori-
    zontally, or a Red Light, indicates
    danger-"Stop." This is the
    Semaphore Danger Signal.
    Danger signal.

59. The arm inclined at an
    angle of 45°, or a Green Light,
    indicates All Clear-"Go on."
    This is the Semaphore Clear
    Signal.
    Clear signal.

60. In these regulations the term "Main Explanation of
    Line" means the through running track, terms "main
    whether on Trunk Line or Branch Lines, and line" and
    will include a through Siding, where trains "train."
    cross, or start from such Siding.

The term "Train" is to be understood to
include Trains, Engines, or single Vehicles of
any description moveable on the Railway or
any part of the same.

    Post, or before reaching the Post, so as not to signal.
    foul the Points in advance of it.

And no Train or Engine may on any ac-
count be moved past a Danger Signal, except-
ing only as provided in Rules Nos. 70 and 14.

63. Where the circumstances of the locality Indicators.
    require that Trains should stop at a particular
    point in advance of the Semaphore, an Indi-
    cator will be placed abreast of the point where
    Trains must be stopped.

The Indicator shows a Red Disc by day and
a Red Light at Night as a Danger Signal, and
a Green Disc by day and Green Light by night
as a Clear Signal.

[No. 30

The Indicator in this case works with and
shows a similar signal to the Semaphore to
which it relates.

Indicators are also used attached to Switch
Points, to indicate the position thereof and
which way they are set.

64. At Junctions, when Trunk Line and Trunk and
    Branch Line Signals are on the same post, the branch line
    upper Signals will always apply to the Trunk signals dis-
    Line, and the lower Signals to the Branch.

65. Semaphore Signals are of four kinds, Four kinds of
    viz.,-
    Starting Signals.
    Home Signals.
    Distant Signals.
    Siding Signals.
    semaphore
    signals dis-
    tinguished.

The first three apply to Trains on the Main
Line, and the last to Trains on Sidings.

Starting Signals.

66. Starting Signals are intended to control Starting signals.
    the departure of Trains into the section ahead.
    Starting Signals must never be passed when at
    "Danger." No Train may be set in motion
    until the "Clear" Starting Signal has been
    given. Where separate Signals are not pro-
    vided, a Starting Signal will apply equally to
    the Main Line and the Siding from which a
    Train may start into the section ahead.

Home Signals.

67. Home Signals are placed at Junctions, Home signals.
    Stations, Turnouts to Sidings, and Signal-boxes.
    When at "Danger" no train must pass
    them, except only as prescribed in Regulation
    No. 70.

68. When a Home Signal has been lowered Lowered signals.
    for the passing of a Train, it must not (except
    in case of accident or obstruction) be again
    placed at "Danger" until such Train has been
    brought to a stand, or passed within the Home
    Signal.

69. Home Signals at places where there are Home signals at
    Starting Signals also must never be passed places where
    when at "Danger."
    there are start-
    When a Train has been stopped at the Home ing signals also.
    Signal of a Junction, Station, Turnout, or
    Signal-box where Starting Signals are pro-
    vided, and it is necessary to bring it within
    the Home Signal before the block section
    ahead is clear, the Signalman may, if the
    Starting Signal is at "Danger," lower the
    Home Signal for the Train to draw ahead.

The Engine-driver of any Train which has
been thus stopped at a Home Signal must,
after that Signal has been lowered, go slowly
forward, as far as the line is clear, towards
the Starting Signal, but must not pass that
Signal until it is lowered.

In the case of a short Train or light engine,
the Engine-driver must only proceed so far as
is necessary to leave the last vehicle well clear
of the points and crossings, and within sight of
the Signalman.

70. Home Signals at places where Starting Home signals at
    Signals are not provided must never be passed places where
    when at "Danger," except as follows:-
    starting signals.
    When a Train has been stopped at the Home First exception
    Signal, and it is necessary to draw it within to Rule 62
    such Signal before the Line ahead is clear, the against passing
    Engine-driver must, on receiving verbal in- danger signal,
    structions from the Signalman, draw past the applicable only
    Danger Home Signal, so as to bring his Train where no
    under its protection; if the Signalman is too starting signal
    far from the Engine-driver to be able to com- provided.
    municate verbally with him, the Engine-
    driver must, upon the receipt of the necessary
    Signal by Hand Lamp or Flag from the Sig-
    nalman, pass the Home Signal, and draw
    cautiously towards the Signal-box, as far as
    the Line is clear, and there await the verbal
    instructions of the Signalman. The Hand
    Signals for the purpose must be given only by
    a Green Light or a Green Flag.

Distant Signals.

    Distant Signals are formed thus
