    It doesn’t matter if the signals are auto controlled or dispatch controlled. If the diamond sensors detect something could be blocking the diamond, then it locks all signals to red. The J/K diamond in Roanoke is DISPATCH controlled UNTIL the diamond senses possible obstruction. Then the conductor has to go reset the diamond at the control box. In Roanoke, the diamond is at the east end of South Yard and there are a lot of power moves. If power has to come out and switch tracks, the dispatcher gives them a signal, then they have to get at least one truck over the diamond before reversing. If they don’t, then the sensors lock the signals to red.
