Chiltern
ABOVE: The signal diagram calls this up signal a starting signal even though, strictly speaking, starting signals were only used on Double Line block. It was installed on Nov 27 1960 in conjunction with the installation of flashing lights at the Beechworth Road level crossing. This was common when flashing lights were installed as it allowed trains to pull up to the level crossing but not activate the flashing lights until the train was ready to depart. Dec 1 1984.
