A description of the signals available for North American (US, CA, MX) Routes.
Based on TANE SP4 (version 4.5).

== Intro ==

North American railroads do not have a uniform signaling system. The type, aspect and indication vary between railroads, and even within railroads.

Signal types include:
* Single-lens multi-color, aka Searchlight
* Multi-lens single-color, aka Safetran, vertical position; the modern version has a single shield, older signals have a shield for each lense.
* Position
* etc.

There are plenty of resources on the Internet to describe the North American signaling systems.
* PDF charts for most of the railroads, [[https://signals.jovet.net/rules/index.html|by jovet]]
* Explanation of the logic behind the signal indications, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160313144451/http://alkrug.vcn.com/rrfacts/signals/signals.htm|by The Krug, from the WayBackMachine archive]]

'''Important''': The following sections use Auran / Trainz terminology, to make it easier to understand the config and scripting.

== Auran Built-In Signals ==

These signals are included with TANE, or the routes that come with TANE.

=== Searchlight Signal ===

|''Signal USA1 04''
|Absolute signal with a single head. Generally used on the frog (tailing, converging) side of junctions.

Aspects: Red, Yellow, Flashing Yellow, Green.

Indications: Stop (0), Caution (4), Advance Caution (7); Proceed (8).

''Signal USA1 04-3A'' is similar, but without the flashing yellow / Advance Caution.
