Jim,
     "Intermediate" signals are those signals between "Home" or 
"Controled" signals. The dispatcher has no control over them. They will 
line up according to the current of traffic. If the spacing of signals 
is such that two intermediate signals are side by side (one facing in 
one direction and one the other direction) and no less than the second 
signal away from a Home signal, that each could display a clear aspect.
