From my understanding the LIRR does not use limited speed in its signaling, outside of Zone A which is under NORAC. I spoke with some one from the signals dept, and they said that there aren't any flahsing aspects in the LIRR system.
That being the case, does this mean that there aren't any 45 mph switches in the LIRR. If there are how would that signal aspect be displayed? I know that there are 60 mph highspeed switches in some areas but IIRC, the signal would show Clear but the cab would drop to 60 mph thus telling the eningeer he's taking a diverging route.
If there are no flahsing aspects does that mean that aspects like Advance Approach, Limited Approach, Limted Clear, and Medium Approach can't be displayed? Even though there's a 45(or 40) mph cab speed indication? Can someone explain.
Thanks.

Hurry up and wait at the signal!
