Title: Tractor on Leeds branch, ECML Post by: onthecushions on August 16, 2018, 11:58:43 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-45205866 Note the green aspect of the signal, hours after the tractor hit. At least we now have a good reason for our beefy GWML masts/stanchions - see how the Mk 3b ones bend!

If it's an automatic signal, it may have a combined berth-and-overlap track circuit. That puts the signal 'in rear' to danger, but not this one.OTC And older installations don't have the facility for the signaller to put every signal to danger.
