Ra 12 (DB) So 12 (DR)     Grenzzeichen / Clear-of-points marker:
Placed between converging tracks. Halting trains must do so before the marker (halting closer to points would obstruct other line).

It's a small domed cylinder with red and white quarters placed at the fouling point for trailing points or double slips as in this case.

Quite simple really.

Whatever happened to painting the sleeper ends white to denote the fouling mark?!  ;)

Didn't know we did that, was it wide spread?
