Eggs-a-lent!
Would an administrator please delete the duplicate post in the link below? I erroneously posted it twice....
Nimo, Thanks for another set of potentially usable signs from NORAC!
How does one know which trackside signs (not signals) to use (for what purposes) and where they would go on a layout when many prototype signs...
Boxcab, I've contacted the AAR and would be surprised if someone replied in the affirmative. Thanks again for your help.
Trainiac, This is likely the exact kind of resource I'm after. It may not have all signs used on the line, but it's by far the closest I've seen...
So I've since learned from a couple of sellers. I guess even loco engineers get it wrong sometimes! It's color photos or drawings with concise...
I am indeed looking for a comprehensive "field guide" for my transition era GN layout, if such exists. Two books - "Rights of Trains" and "The...

Sumner, If one were looking just for pretty photos of signals with little or no context (99% of that link's content), then sure. I'm hoping to...
I'm looking for a guidebook, website or other reference source that interprets and describes the uses and functions of the multitude of trackside...
Sumner, Not being intimately familiar with the inner workings of the mind of Sir Issac Newton, your first sentence expresses my initial sense....
David, Looks like you posted a reply to some other, unrelated question in the wrong place.
One section of track on my DC layout, which serves as a siding, is gapped at each end (on the south side) and wired to a SPDT toggle switch so I...
Thanks, Tom. I agree.
If I use a flsshing signal, it'll be like the one in this link:...
You're correct. My layout is c. 1947-1955. I had the same thoughts about how busy or not that road may be. Given the small rural setting...
Good point. A stopped vehicle at the middle tracks could create a real mess! However, if signal lights were used, all would be simultaneously...
