Before you get to the next signal, here is a little information about signals on the Cologne - Dusseldorf Route. Please check the manual for further detail (There is further information on more signal types included as well as the information about PZB90). HP-Light Signals are used for controlling running movements. They display aspects by means of red, yellow and green coloured lights, there are also distant lights which are shaped at an angle and have signal markers before them (III, II, I ).

Some signals will also display speed change information, for example if a yellow number is displayed on the signal this would show the next signal change, for example a 6 shown would suggest 60 Kmph. If the signal shows a white number, this means that the speed limit changes at that signal.


Hp0 - Red Light: Danger - Stop

Hp1 - Green Light: The next section is clear.

Hp2 - Green and Yellow Light: Indication that the next signal is Red - Proceed: Be prepared to find the next signal displaying a single red signal. If at a junction this will also mean a speed reduction to 40 Km/h

Ra12: Shunting Allowed - Proceed: This will allow you to proceed with a shunting action after you have been given permission. (Close this window to continue).

Distant Signals: These will show the next signal if these show two Yellow Lights the next signal will be a red, if these show two green lights the next signal is Clear and if these show one yellow and one green, this will suggest a speed restriction ahead.
