Mixed Signals

"When I get my hooves on that Vinyl!"

Random doodle from my train journey yesterday. Bizarrely nothing noteworthy happened throughout it. It was quite strange really.

Fun Fact: The line my train runs on is so out of the way from the main line that they still use these types of signals, dating from the late 1800s to control traffic on the line, and they're still changed by hand by a signalman in a signal box. It's stuff like this that certainly gives British railways a certain charm. Also, there are two types of these types of signal. Octavia is hanging from a 'home' signal, distinguishable by its red signal arm with white band, these are put in place around stations to warn the drivers they're to slow down, even if the signal is as green. The other type is known as a 'distant' signal, coloured yellow with a black band along with a 'clipped' end to the arm, these are used out on the most open parts of the line away from any signals or points to indicate where trains are using the section of track ahead.

You learn something new every day, eh?
