What does a Terminal Restricting signal look like?

Solid Red Light on top, Solid Green Light in middle
Solid Red Light on top, nothing in middle, Solid Yellow Light on bottom
Flashing Green Light on top
Solid Red Light on top, Solid Blue Light in middle

The correct answer is: Solid Red Light on top, nothing in middle, Solid Yellow Light on bottom

A Terminal Restricting signal is designed to indicate to train operators that they must prepare to stop at a terminal or point beyond which they cannot proceed. In this context, the specific configuration of the lights is significant. A solid red light on top universally signals that a train must stop, while the absence of a light in the middle indicates that there is no further signal indication to proceed. The solid yellow light on the bottom can be interpreted as a caution, advising the train crew to be prepared for an upcoming stop or restriction. This combination of lights is crucial for effective communication about the train's movement requirements at terminal locations, ensuring safe operations and preventing accidents.
