Unless the BNSF is different, my understanding (and admittedly I'm located in the east) is that Approach Medium is yellow over green and is an interlocking signal indication. The first signal the train passes is yellow over yellow, which is a block signal indication, and that would be called Advance Approach.
Without any report I agree with mauser. He had two yellows at first, at 39 secs he has a green in the bottom signal and he had the switches his way (reverse). When the on coming train passes his signal at danger the green drops back to red. I'm a signalman (dispatcher) and I just thank god we've 220 yards clearance from each signal, gives a little breathing room
sorry, I have the official FRA report in hand, he din NOT run 2 reds, he was cleared until the last second. 4059 was instructed to hold the main (stop short of the switch on the main), while 4479 was to go in the hole (enter the siding). the problem was 4059 did not stop short of the switch.
@thetrainman407 No the train had an Approach signal which is yellow over yellow, the other one was a red over green (diverging clear) but since the train coming the opposite direction overran its limits of authority running a red signal turning the red over green automatically red over red, fouled the adjacent track and collided, the guy jumping is actually the Conductor he was high on coke, check the Kismet BNSF collision report google it..
@helloween1987 The yellow over yellow was an Approach Medium (same as flashing yellow), not Approach. Other than that, you seem to know what you're talking about.
@est86leo Approach Medium, you are totally correct, I forgot to put that last word, here on UP we call it Approach Diverging. Anyways have a good day buddy
@helloween1987 On ex-Frisco BNSF territories, yellow over yellow is still called "Approach Diverging," but on most of the system it's an A.M. One of those weird holdovers that made it through some mergers.

I know for a fact that no one on those two trains should ever be able to come back to work if I had my way.

the train this was taken from ran two red lights, and the other one over ran the signal. Did you see the engineer bail at the last second.

That's what happens when you don't operate the train rails correctly.
