Signals

[NW Mailing List]

Jim,
You took the words right out of my mouth! I am trying to get the signaling  
system on my railroad ready to install. However all the rules and such have 
got  me just plain confused! An article laying it all out for the late  
steam era would be a huge help!!!!!

Jimmy is correct. PRR signal aspects are similar in appearance to some  N&W 
aspects, but that is where the similarity ends. The N&W had  different 
rules for their aspects and how they apply.  
Older N&W rules had two horizontal yellows over a single marker. That  was 
replaced later with a single horizontal over a marker light with the  letter 
"S" attached to the interlocking number board on the signal.  That  is just 
one example of MANY differences. 
It gets complicated, and it would take a great deal of time to explain some 
 of the signal subjects that have been brought up lately. That's why I 
haven't  chimed in on them. 
Maybe I should write a book... 
Ben
