SIGNALS!
I have read about signals in trying to learn about railroads, and this I have learned, you have to know the railroad and its system! Fortunately, green still means go and red still means stop. But the mysterious yellow (or white) signal means maybe?
So when I see a green light! Hey a train is coming! Then you have to ask? When?
Here are some signal photos.
Near Portsmouth with NS getting the green light. Click on the photo and notice that the lights on the photographer side are red.
Here in Fostoria are some more signals. Experts in railroad yore can tell you the type etc. I don't have to know what they are to know that red means stop! Green means go! But I think they are old B&O signals?
Here is a NS freight near Chillicothe.
Back to Fostoria, it isn't hard to figure out that red light!
That's all for signal lights. The top photo is in Fostoria.
