Even now if I stop a train at a signal and the driver comes on the phone . They address us signalmen as Bobby from the time we were policemen . The distant signal was always considered the most important . That is why where ever possible it was changed from a mechanical arm to a colour light type signal .
18:25 "... and at 45 degrees when cleared" - showing an indicator thats at anything but 45 degrees.
😀 yes I know.
