in a lot of places and to a lot of people this signal would have been called by its route signal name "Diverging Clear". But on the NP and the SP&S they were not route signals but speed signals. In this case the signal was called "Medium Clear". It was an indication as to speed and not the route to be used thru an interlocking. Two ways that different people in different places did and dared to think about the same things differently! So it once was but is no more! Today everything has to be the same for everybody! |
