A Limit of shunt is the limit beyond which a shunting movement is not permitted to pass, and hence no route is available to be be set beyond it. Physically this may consist of a ground shunt signal showing two red lights, or an illuminated sign indicating the limit of shunt (wording varies).
Normally found at reversing locations on main lines and occasionally loops.
