Branch signaling continued

[NW Mailing List]

Lynn, I have to ask the question, are you a present or former train service employee on N&W or NS?

Both Jeff and Jimmy are former employees, Jimmy retired as an Engineer on the Shenandoah Division, Jeff retired as a Yard Conductor.

I have to respect their understanding of the rules, as they worked with them.

Really need some help on Figure 5 as to whether the blue train would see approach or approach diverging.
