Hello, good explanation, I have a few comments: Distant signal has a white frame on the screen: in this case, the train driver must expect that the next signal is a protection signal. A protection signal only exists at stations and only applies to train movements, but not to shunting unless there is a vertical bar in the middle. This signal can then also indicate shunting admitted. If you drive at a speed other than 40 or 60 km/h in the area of the switches, this is not only displayed with a white number at the main signal, but also with a yellow number before it at the distant signal. If that speed is a tin sign, then that advance notice is displayed on a triangular sign. So it can happen that there is a speed indicator above the main signal, then the distant signal and below that a warning sign below the distant signal on a mast... These speeds only apply in the switch areas. ÖBB uses white square signs with a black number and a red frame to signal the maximum line speed, and if the speed is reduced by more than 15%, square signs with the same colors. Yellow, black-numbered, white-framed triangular signs announce temporary speed limits, starting with a yellow, white-edged, black-A rectangular sign and ending on a white sign with a black E. Complicated, isn't it? But there is another signal that is visible on main signals if it cannot be set to clear: If the position of the points cannot be checked by the dispatcher, then instead of the white flashing light there is the caution signal with a red flashing light as a substitute signal, es allows the driver to pass the stop signal, but must then drive on sight. There is also a small difference with the signal repeaters: the yellow signal repeaters must be confirmed with the PZB (train protection system that monitors whether the train driver has recognized the signal correctly and acts accordingly), if the signal repeater is white, then not...
I love your disclaimer! Having watched your video I felt I was ready to drive a train, but the disclaimer made me see that I should really get formal training. 🤣🤓
Great video :) Now for one explaining all the trackside signs ;) triangles, squares, hexagons, and what not. Although some of them are similar between countries, most are not
White dot with Red Light PZB Befehl 40 should be used when the Signalman (UK Signaller) gives you the permission to go for those since they have 2000hz PZB Beeinflussung active
Thankyou! Partly learned through observation, with a lot of help from various websites- there are lots of super niche interest signalling websites out there!
@michaelo7421 that would be cool, but Would that make more sense as a Video on OSShD signals in general? That would cover most systems of eastern Europe.
I have heard about a wooden stick given to a train on a single rail railway. Only the train with the stick was allowed to use the railway. Not sure but possible not in Australia.
Tbh, while the system Is Visually very different, there are Analogies to American signals. A G/Y being a Slow clear/approach and a G/G being Medium Clear/Approach. Swis signals have G/G/G for a Limited Clear/Approach. It all boids down the same with speed signaling.

Wow, very complete info! Thanks
These railway signal explained videos are great, 10/10!

I love these signals explained videos! You should definitely make more.
I work in Spanish railways, if you need any info about our signals let me know
Thanks, will do!

EXTREMELY clear!!!
Thank you very much!
😃
Your signalling videos are awesome! Where do you find all of this knowledge?

i totally love theese videos!! you should make a video about slovak or czech signals!

Can you do a video about signs?😊
