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.
