Chuck;

I have a copy the DLW rules in 1925 at;

http://raildata.railfan.net/dlw/dlwsig25.jpg

I'm now looking in an EL 1964 BOR and it shows Stop on the 2 head style DLW
signals a single red in the upper head and a dark bottom head.  That's Rule
292: STOP.  And would be an absolute indication at an interlocking.

The Stop and Proceed, Rule 291, is the same aspect on a 2 head DLW signal,
but with a number plate.  The 1925 Red over Yellow aspect is gone.

Curiously, this 1964 EL rule book doesn't show an aspect for Rule 290;
Restricting, on the 2 head DLW signals.  Perhaps someone else could shed
some light on that situation....

Regards,
Hank
