Rich,

You might want to visit railroadsignal.us for some general information. They cover serach light, colored signals, tri lights semaphores and more. Not specific to Burlington, but I found them helpful.

Thanks!  That's just what I needed.  I'm particularly interested in the signaling information.  Unfortunately, I know nothing about signaling and it's time to start learning about it.

Looking at this version compared to the one Dave posted in the members only section, there is one difference.  In the Signal Key, this version shows the Search Light symbol and the Color Light symbol.  Looking at the alignment charts, you see the usage of both the Color lights and Searchlights on a pole (rather than a signal bridge.)   What is the difference in usage for the Colored light signals versus the Searchlight signals?

I realize this is pretty basic stuff, but I'm trying to understand how the trains were controlled, especially in CTC territory.  I just purchased a Burlington Lines Railroad Rules of the Operating Department: 1951 off of eBay, and hopefully, this will help me understand this better, but I'm just looking for some help from the knowledgeable members of this list.

Thanks,

Rich G.

I was told that there is an index that explains the symbols used in the alignment charts.  I was looking in the Members Only area and could not find this index.  There are a lot of symbols and abbreviations that are difficult to interpret.  Am I missing it, or is this not available?

Thanks.
