A flashing signal (green or yellow) generally indicates the diverging route, either siding or mainline Xover. Paul B Here's an interesting signal aspect that I have always wondered about. EL and DL&W ran one mid-day w/bound leaving Hoboken at 2 and arriving at Mountain View at 2:39. Often the signal east of the Pompton River would show a flashing yellow over green. The train would run up the siding at Lincoln Park and then back on the the main track. Little is said about this signal aspect. What did it signify?
