Frank,
Since I'm not a modeler, you'll have to forgive my ignorance, but does that
mean the most restrictive indication would be red over red
(interlocking/home signal) or would it be red over dark (block signal)?
That's what I recall from growing up along the Morristown Line.

Chuck,
Three block protection. The signal cards I used are able to put out four
conditions (two bits). They were designed for modern signals: red,
yellow,
green, & dark. I modified them to light the DL&W red-yellow red-green
signal heads.

Dear Frank,
I'm curious, do your trains have three- or four-block protection? Put
another way, do the signals have three or four different aspects that can
be
displayed? Silly question: can the trains run a red signal? The reason
why
I ask is that I grew up near the tracks in South Orange, NJ and the
Morristown Line used a four-aspect system (green, yellow, green and yellow,
and red) system with short (roughly half-mile) blocks. I don't know if the
DL&W utilized that system universally, as typically blocks were two miles
in
length once you got outside of the congested commuter zone.
