Railway Signals - Burlington/Northern Engineers?

Hi. I'm an aide on a Special Needs School bus and we cross the Railway tracks several times a day. Every time we do this, one of my students looks down the track for the signal. We notice that it is either a double red, a red and white, a double white, or completely off.

The different lighting combinations (called "aspects") are standardized. Where "modified" for specific locations, the meanings are covered in local notification via Timetable or other means. There are many possible combinations, each conveying information to the train crew, either relative to "route" to be taken, where there are multiple (two or more) tracks, as well as track "occupancy", that is, how far ahead a preceding train may be.

There can be three or more lights in a column, but usually there are found two "units" on the signal "head" atop the signal "mast," to the side of the track, or on a signal "bridge" spanning multiple tracks. The different color combinations you are seeing tell the engineer which track he will proceed on and whether that track is clear or a train is ahead, or if he needs to be prepared to stop short of an upcoming signal. "Double Red" is always "STOP."

Though some signals are continuously lighted, most are "approach activated," and are dark until a train is approaching, already within the signal circuit. That is why, when on those occasions you see them illuminated, a train is usually on the scene. Tell your students and anyone else you care about that if you see a lighted signal, even if you don't see or hear a train, the odds are one is very close at hand, none the less. A lighted signal is a warning to you. Respect it as if it were a shark's fin cutting across the water you are in. You can't see or hear what it's attatched to, but it's bad news.

A good question. And, very observant. You are exactly the right type of person for current your profession. If all who cross railroad tracks were as attentive as your student who posed the question, the yearly number of the dead and maimed would take a major nose dive, guaranteed... and that gets a star. Here's yours. Pass it on to the special person who asked the questions. Stay safe !
