✨ Railway Signal Regulations
RAILWAY SIGNALS.
(1) RED is a Signal of DANGER—Stop. GREEN MOVED is a Signal for CAUTION—Move slowly. GREEN STEADY is a Signal for ALL RIGHT—Go on. YELLOW LIGHTS in Signals signify CAUTION.
(2) Any unusual Signal, or the Hand waved violently, denotes danger, and the necessity for stopping immediately.
(3) The absence of a Signal at a place and time where and when a Signal is ordinarily shown, or a signal imperfectly exhibited, or the exhibition of a White Light at a place where a Green, Yellow, Purple, or Red Light ought to be seen, must be regarded as a Danger Signal.
SEMAPHORE SIGNALS.
(4) The Semaphore Day Signal is made by an Arm painted Red, on the left side of the post as seen by the Engine-driver of the approaching train, and the Night Signal by a Light worked in conjunction with the Arm.
(5) Each Semaphore Arm and Lamp will give two signals only—Danger, Stop; and All Right, Go on, thus:
(6) In cases where, owing to intervening objects, signals cannot readily be seen, a higher or lower arm, as the case may be, is erected to work in conjunction with the signal, as shown in marginal diagram.
(7) Semaphore Signals not in use are distinguished by two pieces of wood fastened to the Arm in the form of a cross, thus:-
(8) Power-worked or Automatic Signals.—These are of two kinds—(a) Three-position Upper Quadrant Semaphore Signals, (b) Three-position Colour Light Signals.
The Signal-arms of Three-position Upper Quadrant Semaphore Signals are worked in the Upper Left-hand Quadrant.
Three-position Colour Light Signals consist of three Lights fixed one below the other, only one of these lights burning at a time.
In addition to the above, each signal will display an additional lower Red light as illustrated below. This lower light is termed a “Marker” light.
