Could it be a shunting signal? But why so for all?

Its looking like double yellow's...i saw a pic clicked by aravind in his fotopic gallery showing double red. The URL is http://tinyurl.com/2vtps9. But still why all signals are showing same signal is a mystery.

This is the ADI end of Udaipur Jn where all the BG tracks end. Only the MG tracks continue south from that point on. One could think of it as a 'dead end' kind of signal I guess.

This is what http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-signal3.html says: A double-red colour-light signal, permanently lit, is sometimes used to indicate the shunting limit on a particular line..(where it is)...especially important that no trains accidentally pass it -- e.g., at busy suburban stations with many automatic and semi-automatic signals which can normally be passed after halting for a specified time, hence a single red signal cannot be used. Normally the double-red signal also carries a board that says 'STOP'.
