Property | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
form |
Display/Style | The physical format of the signal: (semaphore ), (light ) or (sign ).
|
deactivated |
Signal Activity | Is the signal still operational? Either (yes ) or (no ).
|
height |
Signal Height | Height design of signal: either (dwarf ) or (normal ). Alternatively, you can specify the exact height measurement.
|
states |
Signal Aspects | For variable signals, a list of possible signal aspects, each separated by a semicolon (e.g.: clear;aproach_limited;limited_clear;approach_medium;... ).
|
shortened |
Shortened Braking Distance | Is the signal placed closer than usual to the next signal? Either (yes or no ).
|
repeated |
Repeater signal | When a main/combined signal is not visible from distance (e.g. because of track curves), a repeater is installed to repeat the aspect of the main/combined signal. Use yes to mark these signals, otherwise use no or omit this tag.
|
frequency |
Frequency | When activated, the frequency reading of the signal in Hertz (Hz). |
voltage |
Voltage | When activated, the voltage reading of the signal in Volts (V). |
speed |
Signal Speed | The displayed signal speed in Kilometers/Hour. For values in Miles/Hour, it is necessary to prefix it with mph .
|
function |
Signal Function | The exact function of the signal, such as an Entry Signal (entry ), Exit Signal (exit ), Block Signal (block ) or Intermediate Signal (intermediate ). In the past, the deprecated value between was used for intermediate signals.
|
caption |
Additional Text | Additional text specified on a signal. This tag was merged with the deprecated description , which was in use until 2014.
|
marker_light |
yes or no ). | |
only_transit |
Valid only for Passing Trains | Does the signal only apply to trains that go through the following breakpoint/station? Either (yes ) or (no ).
|
substitute_signal |
Substitute Signal | A signal added to another signal, and indicates the behaviour in cases of failures of the actual signal. Also known as caution signal. For example the train may pass the signal at low speed and must be prepared to stop at any obstacle. Either (yes ) or (no ).
|
twice |
Double Signal | Is the signal instruction to be carried out twice? Either (yes or no ).
|
type |
Subtype or order | The subtype of a signal or what has to be down at/after this signal. |
for |
Vehicle type | Specifies for which types of vehicles this signal is valid. This can be multiple units (multiple_unit ) or locomotives (locomotive ). This tag can also be used for specifying locomotive classes or the type of traction (steam, diesel, electric, ...).
|
shape |
Signal shape | Can be used to distinguish signals that are visually distinct, but have otherwise identical tagging. Used e.g. for different generations of German H/V light signals. |
