[CBQ] Yard signal indications

["Mark Bristow" <markbristow251@btinternet.com>]

In my 1951 Q rule book, rule 699 describes yard signal indications for 
both hump and flat yards.

Were these common in flat yards, or were they only used occasionally to 
address sighting issues? I guess in some yards the engineer might not 
have a clear view of person controlling the movements. Are there any 
photos of these in the popular Q books or the web?

For flat yards it lists four indications: Stop, Shove forward, Kick and 
Back up.

Regards,

Mark Bristow
