I just noticed this. There are intermediate signals showing he same aspect on both ends of the Rockville station. For example, this morning the eastbound track 1 signals both showed approach. They're only a few hundred feet apart, basically each end of the station. Within view of each other actually I think. Why?

To remind the engineer what the aspect was at the previous signal.
As you may remember the cause of the Silver Spring wreck was the engineer not remembering the previous signal aspect after making the Kensington station stop.
