A main signal of the
semaphore
system seen at Heimbach (Eifel) on 26 September 2002. Please note that an M
board is attached at the bottom, which means that the signal may be passed with
a verbal permission of the signalman when it shows stop. The signal is at the
dead end of the station, so it is normally only passed by shunting movements.
Also I think it is not possible to set this semaphore to clear, as all signals
normally needed for train movements on that line are new light signals.
