<<<<<<<Therefore, the Home Departure signal from the number 2 road will only
show a
medium speed aspect. Keeping in mind, the driver must remain at medium speed
until the next signal, a second signal is place in advance of the Home
Departure signal to allow the driver to resume normal speed. If this signal
was not there, the driver would have to remain at medium speed for the
entire section.>>>>>>>

CTC rules change the requirement that a driver is to travel the whole track
section at medium speed where the next signal is usually many miles down the
track
