Reusing Signals

[NW Mailing List]

The picture is on page 226 of Buds book second edition 219 first edition. 
I have also seen one in a photo take at Portsmouth also. May be a signal
for the hump? I just never noticed it before

Thanks

  You may have reference to a hump signal.  I'm not sure.   There
  were provisions in the rule book effective 4/1/45 for half a dozen
  indications that were displayed on three targets (three lights per
  target).  No rule number, but "Move Through  Diverging Route at
  Restricted Speed" , for example, was:
  TOP TARGET - Three horizontal lights
  MIDDLE TARGET -Three horizontal lights
  BOTTOM TARGET - Three diagonal lights pointing toward the track.

  All other indications had the capability of being displayed using two
  targets.    The 1951 rule book does not include three-target signals,
  so I guess by then the Operating Department had decapitated one
  of the signal heads. NOTE: on three-target signals requiring a positive
  stop, there would have been a 10th light mounted on the signal mast.
