One day, heading eastbound on US 6 east of Morris, IL, I glanced northeast as I crossed the bridge over the ex-Rock Island main, and was surprised to see lit signals. Last Saturday, I decided I wanted to get a better look. They're at either end of a siding west of Minooka, and there's a road close enough that I could get a shot of one:
I was very surprised to see a horizontal color-light. One oddity that I noticed was that the red light is in the center. Do these signals convey any sort of block indication, or are they strictly take-siding signals?

When it's a tie at the railroad crossing, you lose.
