Thanks David.
I was unsure about how far out an arrival home can be in front of the 
facing points that its protecting . (is there any rule.) 
I presume you mean that the up departures from Seymour could be modified to 
show either R/G or R/R/Y  to indicate the Seymour platform road and the same 
in the down home near the bridge .
Does this mean however that the platform crossing loop isnt 
considered a crossing loop for purposes of crossing trains , ie its simply a 
switch locked power point operated siding in the middle of the Seymour - Tall 
section ?

thanks
