Thats really very beautiful Ankit. By the way, why such a lowest speed of 8KMPH on all lines? Is the yard so tight, in terms of turnouts etc, that such speed is mandatory for all the lines leading into Jammu-Tawi?

Home signal with all the arms at the same level?It seems this might be so because all the lines including the main-line have the same speed of 8 KM/Hr.Also note the black ring on the right-most arm.The General Rules state that such a ring must be provided on a signal which leads a train into a goods running line.Such a signal shall be taken off only after the train has come to a stop.

simple mechanics that will be lost in digital era....as has happened in aviation, normal hydraulic replaced by fly by wire.

This is just to keep the wires for semaphore signalling in proper tension. The counterweight for semaphore arm to put the signal in danger in case of wire break is a part of semaphore only.
