Geelong?

The other thing interesting in the addenda is just when has the signalling
been redefined. It appears that what has quite happily existed for many years
(1916) as three position signalling is now known as Automatic Block
Signalling. What a stupid name. Whose idea was this?

If you must rename it, surely Track Circuit Block is nearer to correct but
there is nothing wrong with three position signalling given that a recent
thread on the subject couldn't make up it mind about the extra aspects. It is
still 3 pos because you have clear, caution (small variety of conditions) and
stop.
