Diverging first in the name, it is a Turnout
NAMES:
No Slow, Medium, or Limited in names. All have 'Diverging' in place of speed designation.
Anything with a Flashing R in it = Restricting. Applies to high stand and dwarfs.
Anything with a Lunar in it = Restricting. Applies to high stand and dwarfs.
R/R/Y and also R/Y = Diverging Approach (not Restricting)
Read these 3 dwarfs just like high stands
R/Y = Diverging Approach
G = Clear (station tracks)
Y = Approach (One of the few signal groups that has a dwarf approach)
This dwarf position light POT signal is unique. It looks like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Dumb Alien = Diverging Approach
INDICATIONS:
Every indication starts with 'Proceed".
Clear is 'not exceeding maximum authorized speed', everything else is 'at prescribed speed'.
Take turnouts 'at prescribed speed' (in all 3 indications that have Diverging in the name).
Diverging Clear
Approach Diverging
Diverging Approach
Note: 'at prescribed speed' is opposite of CORA West which is 'not exceeding' for Diverging signals.
If signal name has 'Diverging' in it so does the indication.
Approach, and Diverging Approach: Prepare to stop. Exceeding 30 MPH immediately reduce.
