My friend, this job isn’t as glamorous as it seems. The people are not nice man and if they sniff the fact you like trains. They WILL fire you.

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. I'm used to Eastern railroad signaling systems. When a signal says "approach diverging" or "diverging clear" and the rule is "proceed at prescribed speed". How does one know what the prescribed speed is? I am used to eastern signaling traditions where you will always be given the speed such as "approach limited" or "approach slow".

Hey @j-bird1778 so the “diverging” signals are basically to tell us that we are going from 1 line of track to another and we have ti correspond with the speed limit of that crossing. It’s just something that we have been taught. Also proceed and prescribed speed is something that we are given in our time table that is our speed limit for any length of track that we run on.

Now, you could be me with the Train Simulation game, and fly right through the yard at 35 mph, and completely throw out all of these signals, and rules.

The signals you have are complicated, compared to the Dutch system.

@@WIPEOUT_Trains In the Netherlands only one signal, sometimes with a number signal for a different speed than the standard track speed. For example: after a station the train can go 2 directions. One direction max speed 120 Km/h, the diversion route 80 Km/h. If the train goes strait, only green signals. If the train goes the other route, first a orange signal with number signal shows 8, indicating reduce speed to 80 Km/h, followed by a green blinking light with a number signal showing a 8 indicating passing allowed with a max speed of 80 Km/h. After that a green signal indication that the train can go to the max track speed. The track speed is given by a sign.

where can someone, who is a model railroader, get a copy of these cards?

Hey @johnbrogan6583 unfortunately, to only get these cards. You have to apply for the train crew position and then they will provide these cards.
