Between Gate and CP216 on the now Amtrak NYS line Ex NYCRR/NH. Amtrak has the color retrofitted Position lights.
Currently Harold and F interlocking in NY are full amber Position Lights. With the exception of some signals on the loop tracks.
The Amtrak "color retrofit" position lights have RED, GREEN, AMBER, LUNAR WHITE (LED) bulbs.
The Lunar bulbs are used to display the lower head on a "Restricting" aspect
The Aspects are the same as the full amber signals but in color.
A Medium clear would be "Red" (top horizontal) over "Green"(bottom Vertical)
I don't understand what's with going to solid color lights? The retrofitted PRR style position lights with color LED bulbs are (to me) superior then a straight color light signal.
