Dear Hank,
I think you're right. My question is how an interlocking, say Millburn,
would have indicated absolute stop, since a train going westbound on Track
3, heading for westbound Track 2--if following a stop and proceed at
restricted speed rule--could have run a closed switch (aligned for
eastbound Track 1 or westbound Track 2). Granted I don't see that ever
happening, but I'm curious if the signaling protected against that
occuring, or was that prevented by an operating rule? or both?

Re: (erielack) Great HO scale DL&W layout...
I thought the DLW's 2 head interlocking/block signals had Red and Yellow on
top. Yellow and green on the bottom. Non distant block signals sometimes
had 2 heads, but the bottom head had only green. 2 head distant signals
had
the same color arrangement as the 2 head interlocking signals. Some non
distant automatic signals were a single 3 light(RYG) head. The original
Stop
and Proceed per the 1925 rules was a Red over Yellow aspect. I don't think
any of these signals gave a Red over Red aspect for any situation.
Regards,
Hank
