Strange signal aspect

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5cTxe2H_Nw


    at time 07:09 train receive at Honebach station an hp2 aspect . The strange things is that points in front at train are normals and train keep the right track. But how can the dispatcher give this type of signal aspect if direction of train is not for the left track and there is not GWB ?


    thanks in advance for reply at this question

    Hello Diego,


    at the time the video was recorded, there was a failure at the track (i think at the switches), so that they decided to show that signal, which permitted the maximum speed up to 40 km/h.

    Something like that is normally not done by showing Hp2, simply because the Hardware doesn't allow this. - It requires rewiring of the signalling system. If there was a faulty switch the would be "Langsamfahrsignale" (Lf1,2 and 3) not Hp2. The Option of showing Hp2 for a track you would normally enter with Hp1 is only available for tracks in the Station where you can select a shorter overlap.

    at time 16:03 train passes a main signal+advance signal and both are opened for train coming in opposite direction . How is possible this ?

    This can happen when the signal box controlling the signals is not manned at the time. When there are no planned passings between trains/no planned shunting movements the signal box can temporerly be put out of operations. In that case the signals in both directions would show clear aspects.
