Restricting

Restricting in general always had the most absurd signal aspect out there. All class 1's have there own version of signal to call restricting. In Jersey Mike's North American Signaling Dialects he goes over the Restricting way better than me. I'll be doing the signal call out's and signal display on my page.

Norfolk Southern: Ex-Southern Lines

Norfolk Southern: Ex-Norfolk Western & Conrail Lines

*R* & L BNSF : RESTRICTING Proceed at restricted speed.

*R* & L Union Pacific : RESTRICTING : Proceed at Restricted speed, not exceeding prescribed speed through turnout when applicable.

L CSX : RESTRICTING : Proceed at Restricted speed.

R/Y, R/R/Y & L CSX (Ex-CR Lines) : RESTRICTING : Proceed at Restricted speed until the entire train has cleared all switches (if signal is CP signal) and the leading wheels have:

 a. Passed a more favorable fixed signal, or

b. Entered non-signaled DCS territory.

In CSS territory, trains with operative cab signals must not increase speed until the train has run one train length or 500 feet (whichever distance is greater) past a location where a more favorable cab signal was received.

R/-/Y, R/R/Y Norfolk Southern : RESTRICTING Proceed at Restricted speed. Restricted Speed must be observed until the leading end of the movement reaches the next signal.

EXCEPTION: When the signal governs movement to non-signaled territory or to a track signaled for movement in the opposite direction only, Restricted speed applies until the leading end of the movement is through any crossovers, turnouts, or controlled point/Interlocking limits governed by that signal.

R/Y, R/R/Y Norfolk Southern (Ex-NW Lines) : RESTRICTING Proceed at Restricted speed. 

Restricted speed must be observed until the leading end of the movement reaches the next signal.

EXCEPTION: When the signal governs movement to non-signaled territory or to a track signaled for movement in the opposite direction only, Restricted speed applies until the leading end of the movement is through any crossovers, turnouts, or controlled point/interlocking limits governed by that signal.

R/Y, R/R/Y Norfolk Southern (Ex-CR Lines) : RESTRICTING Proceed at Restricted speed until the entire train has cleared all interlocking, controlled point, and spring switches (if signal is an interlocking or controlled point signal) and the leading end has:

1. Passed a more favorable fixed signal,

or

2. Entered Rule 171 territory.

In CSS territory, trains with operative cab signals must not increase speed until the train has run 1 train length past a location where a more favorable cab signal was received.

R (With R Plaque), R/R (With R Plaque), R/Y, R/R/Y CN &CP (Canada Lines) : Restricting - Proceed at RESTRICTED speed.
