 6B15 is stopped at signal #705, facing Up (i.e., left) after having reversed direction at Salisbury Spur. A route has been set for it from signal #705 to Down Yard 1-5 (and also from #701 to 705). Even when 6B15 begins to move, the shunt signal stays red. Why is this? If 701 is approach-controlled, I would have expected it to change to white as soon as the train approaches it.

Presumably it is to control the trains speed, but I'm not sure why 705 is approach released when 703 isn't.

Thanks Steamer - I'll look more carefully! (Added) You're right - it does clear. Apologies. Must be approach-controlled (unusual for a ground signal?)  (this is a different train from earlier example) Last edited: 13/07/2013 at 14:51 by maxand Log in to reply |
