Basic Concepts of Signalling: Indicators and Markers

Indicators and markers provide extra information to drivers on signals, points, and routes. Point indicators show white targets or lights when points are set for straight and green when set for turnout. Trap indicators show red targets or lights when trap points are open and green when closed. Route indicators replace separate signals and can be stencil, multi-lamp, or junction types depending on speed.
