This is yet another beauty still fresh in my memory. You can see the MRVC rake was just clearing the PF1. Meanwhile, the GR waits at the distant home signal.
What a respect this "Red" aspect commands. It makes the tonnes of steel to wait until it changes to green.
The aspect changes and the GR enters the PF1.
"Thrisoolam" - the suburban station opposite to the Chennai Airport is modelled here.
Another crossing. This time the Jan Shatabdi with a loco 22208 moves into PF2 while the MRVC waits at the home. See the signals showing the Crossing aspect in tandem.
The signals are individual LED's that glow in sync.
The Janshatabdi has crossed the points and entered the PF2.
The aspects changed and the MRVC starts.
