NORAC Signal Reference / NORAC test signal additions
Last post by x2000 - August 25, 2022, 12:47:14 PM
The following signals have been added to both the NORAC signal names test (Color Light) and the NORAC signal indications test. This is for the Amtrak test. Check with your individual carrier for any other variations specific to that carrier.

Also if anyone needs NORAC Position Light signals let me know.

280a - Clear to Next Interlocking
280b - Approach Normal
281a - Cab Speed

Thank you Tjohns259!

See the attached excerpt from the USOR No. 13 (Rules 803-816) or follow this link: CN USOR No. 14 Route Signals

No changes from 2022 to 2023 but there is a heading error in the rule book on Page 72. The same error also appears in the index on Page 5.

It reads: BLOCK AND INTERLOCKING ROUTE SIGNALS (803 TO 849)
It should read: BLOCK AND INTERLOCKING SIGNALS (803 TO 849)
