Signal safari part 6

[NW Mailing List]

The signal off the Alma Branch is a fixed approach signal; it can’t even display “stop”.   It tells trains to be prepared to stop at the next signal and that’s all; it conveys no block protection.

Coming to the end of my trip, the first shot is at Blackberry City.  Next is a distant signal for movements entering the main from the Alma branch.  Since a train has not choice of route in this case, why is approach diverging the appropriate aspect for this signal?  Last shot shows main signals at Chatteroy.
