This is a very strange case: a green signal at a cut-off track. I saw this
distant signal repeater of the
<a href="http://www-users.rwth-aachen.de/christoph.schmitz2/kssignal.html">Ks
system</a> at Buir (on Cologne-Aachen) on 8 December 2001. The new tracks are
not yet in service, in some months they will take over from the old tracks on
the right. In the direction in which we are looking, this point is between a
distant signal (which is in fact a combined signal) and a main signal. A
platform is located just in front of the distant signal, so there is no
problem. At the new track, the platform is behind the distant signal, so a
repeater is needed. It is already installed at this time and connected to the
signalbox, indicating the aspect of the main signal at the old line.
