In territories where no intermediate wayside signals exist and signals have the add on C clear to next interlocking signal: is this signal automatic or it is very manual from the dispatcher's perspective? What I am asking, does the signal system check every individual block for occupancy before this is light will come on? OR is it more of manual thing where the DS looks at his display and seeing no block lights illuminated to the next CTC signal simply turns the light on?
Having never seen one illuminated, I would think the latter as multiple times in any day the track to the next interlocking would be clear for a short time but never see these things light up.
