the block. Occupied block will turn red. Re-click the segment to 'un-occupy'
the block. Mouse over and click signal icon to select signal to be displayed

of track with automatic signals and one interlocking signal using 4 approach
aspects, utilizing Limited Speed rules. The Diverging Route
scenario allows the selection of Limited, Medium, and Slow Speed
rules. Normally, a system like this would use approach lighting. NoRoute
