VR SIGNAL HOMEPAGE

IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INFORMATION IN THE SIGNAL SECTION ON THIS WEBSITE IS IN NO WAY OFFICIAL. ALTHOUGH EVERY ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION, THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CORRECT RULE COMPLIANCE ALWAYS RESTS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE CARRYING OUT THE RULES ISSUED BY THEIR EMPLOYER.

Signaling and safeworking can be pretty complicated subjects, at least they were for me when I started. It is my hope that with the following pages I will explain most of VR's various systems.
