Approaching Adverse Signal

Basic German signals are 2 aspect, there are home (stop) signals, and distant signals. Note a home head and the next distant head can be located on the same post. The approach to a distant signal is indicated by distance marker boards ,III, II, I at 300m, 200m and 100m from signal.

When approaching a distant signal which is showing yellows or green/yellow press and hold the acknowledge control (page down key) while passing the signal post. 1000Hz will light and 85 will start flashing.

Start service (i.e. near full braking) to ensure speed is below 85km/h within 23 seconds. Continue braking for a stop at the next home signal (1km away by default). When the speed has reduced below 10km/h 70-85 will start flashing. Do not exceed 45km/h while these lights are flashing. When the signal ahead clears, press the Free control to cancel the flashing, and resume normal driving.

Passing Red Signal

If it is necessary to pass a red signal (e.g. for a coupling operation) press and hold the Override control (delete key) while passing the signal post. Do not exceed 40km/h. Befehl40 will light on passing the signal; the control can then be released.
