I suspect the signal displays a signal when it's in the path of travel but isn't directly the start or destination signal. But I'm not sure.

Good morning, I want to build a model railway in the near future that will only be 55cmx92cm and wanted to ask if digital or analogue is better? Thanks for the future answers 😉
Just for fun, I looked for different connections from Munich to Destination X and set the DB app to exclude ICE trains. And there were a few connections that showed me RB and some that showed RE. So, RB stands for Regionalbahn? And RE for Regional Express? And can you travel on both with the…
Hello everyone, I'm a trained chemical technician and have a master's degree in chemistry. Personally, I'm married and the father of one and soon to be two children. However, I've realized that I no longer enjoy my job, and the risks and shift work are simply no longer worth it. Of course, the crisis also…
I'm currently doing an apprenticeship, but we're currently in block school, which means school runs from October 20th to March 21st. Many of my classmates live at the school, but I don't. I commute home every day, as the vocational school is only four minutes from my house. A couple from my class aren't feeling…
If it is not used for the road, it is characterized by the characteristic light as temporarily switched off. This can occur, for example, at a pre-signal which signals only one main signal for another road. Or at intermediate signals at railway railway trains divided into two sections, which are to be traveled on full length.
Thank you very much for the example I had seen yesterday so I had asked myself. But maybe you can answer the following: why don’t you just turn the signals on or on the same signal image of the start signal? Wouldn’t that be the same effect?
No, there are many reasons – for example, the signal could have other speed indicators or direction indicators, etc., which it needs for other roads – but for the current road there should be no statements about anything and do not change any distances. It should not be a new pilot signal and not the main signal for a preceding pilot signal – it should be “nothing”.
These are usually those that are often so close together that in the first signal a lower speed would have to be shown due to the shortened braking distance. In the case of the pre-signal, the circuit would possibly be more difficult or the signal is invalid if it has a pre-signal board and no main signal can be expected in the set travel path.
The characteristic light is used when the signal is switched off in operation.
