Distant Signals
Distant signals are informational signals used to give an advance warning about the next home signal. Distant signal are typically located 1,000 to 1,200 meters (3,280 to 3,940 feet) in advance of the home signal in question. The aspects a free-standing distant signal can display are:
| Expect stop | Expect proceed 80 | Expect proceed 40 |
The signal indication is the same as for the combined aspects in the main signals. A flashing green indicates that the next signal displays stop, a flashing white indicates proceed 80, and two flashing green lights indicates that the next signal displays proceed 40.

Famous quotes containing the words distant and/or signals:
“The days are ever divine as to the first Aryans. They are of the least pretension and of the greatest capacity of anything that exists. They come and go like muffled and veiled figures, sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The term preschooler signals another change in our expectations of children. While toddler refers to physical development, preschooler refers to a social and intellectual activity: going to school. That shift in emphasis is tremendously important, for it is at this age that we think of children as social creatures who can begin to solve problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
