@bariboy167 I cubbed under a guy who got written up by a tm for being 2 minutes late when reporting stopped at red. I think management hates it's workers.
Most rr,s base money you make on miles run, the runs that get OT after 8 hrs is the less than 100 mile runs, IE the locals, all the other runs are dollars paid per mile, No OT, So it stands to reason that crews on long milage runs hate to sit at stop signals for at times many hours & i am one of them, I am only talking class 1 rr,s,, most short line non-union rr ,s pay no OT at all on any rr job.
@paullubliner You'd have to ask someone who works in the signaling equipment repair and maintenance division of DB Netze. I personally don't know anyone there. When a line is rebuilt to include signaling equipment, everything e.g. signals, switch drives, interlocking equipment etc. are put into storage for use as spares, and this unfortunately means that getting anything is nigh impossible. And an electric-drive, tri-aspect distant semaphore signal? That's damn near what I'd call a last Mohican!
wahhh... stop signals are great for me... double red??? NO PROBLEM time to kick up the feet n relax specially with dumb dispatchers that have no business dispatching fruit flies let alone trains ;)

@gaycowboy31 Yeah. I wish I could get ahold of the ones on the Kenova line if they take it down.
