The signals on the ONR were purely automatic block signals (ABS), never CTC (centralized traffic control). Operation would have been by train order and later OCS. The signals only provide a safety overlay by showing track occupancy. There were deactivated when the Northlander passenger train was discontinued.

Hello. Can you tell me what year this video is from?
From what I can tell this most likely would be from the mid 1980s (1985/86 or around there)
