Signals

[NW Mailing List]

Jimmy is correct. PRR signal aspects are similar in appearance to some N&W
aspects, but that is where the similarity ends. The N&W had different rules
for their aspects and how they apply.

Older N&W rules had two horizontal yellows over a single marker. That was
replaced later with a single horizontal over a marker light with the letter
"S" attached to the interlocking number board on the signal.  That is just
one example of MANY differences.

It gets complicated, and it would take a great deal of time to explain some
of the signal subjects that have been brought up lately. That's why I
haven't chimed in on them.

Maybe I should write a book...
