Cool. These are the signals rules used for the Jointed Rail Searchlight signals.

Learn your signals ---- a NORAC signal quiz.

hello jcitron:
just came from your link learned alot from that site
I clicked on "engineers and new engineers" alot of different signals I did not know about. approach speed, interlockling, medium speed and so on. interlocking I'm still unclear about.
only thing is I did not see any pictures of the different signals that would help alot describing the signals in text

I noticed that too about his pages, brakemen. The lack of pictures makes things a bit confusing because we're not familiar with the terminology.
I found this page though that helps:

This is helpful because it shows the pictures of what he's talking about.
I've been learning a lot too from this information. I'm no signal expert, and no railroad engineer or conductor, but knowing how they're supposed to work helps with the realism we're trying to achieve in Trainz. Sadly, we have to fudge things a bit with the AI who like signals to be setup a bit different.

Here's a good all-around guide:

Maybe it's just how my brain works, but I didn't have any trouble learning signals. I learned PRR position-lights first, which helps one interpret signal diagrams much more easily, IMO.
Here is a good, albeit dated, guide to learning signals by "method":

Personally, I think "method" guides like that overthink things, but they are useful for many people.
