My impression, riding the domes of the Denver Zephyr, was that the Q, west of
Aurora, used the searchlight signals for sidings and passing tracks and the
three-stacked signal, green on top, for block control. This appeared to be
true all the way to Denver. I do not remember ever seeing a three-stacked
light on a signal bridge; it was always the searchlight signals. So the
three-stacked lights may have been in the single-tracked areas.
One of the recent issues of Trains Magazine has a photo of a search light
signal at MP 184 on the "ex-CB&Q main line" with a comment that the signal
would soon be replaced by the three-light model.
My memories of riding between Burlington and Chicago are of mostly search
light signals but that was a *few* years ago....
