I got started thinking about signaling for Windsor St and came across this.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Funny, when I switch it to position lights, my score goes up dramatically.  :D Three arms with a red in the middle makes my brain hurt.

Dee's a quitter...


Hmm... okay, I actually
tried it rather than
believing it wouldn't
work... too many
dialogue boxes
before it starts...

Dee:  I tried it on Firefox, and the first box does plainly say that "Note that, for now, you can only use Internet Explorer to run this program. Firefox will be added soon."  So, don't feel bad about assuming that it won't work on Firefox, if the owners say it won't!

I didn't try to go any further, as my current computer is very short on memory, and an image-rich interactive page would probably crash it.  Besides, I'm using Firefox...

It also works on Mac Safari.

Good training tool. Am I imagining things, or do a lot of those aspects come out of the Pennsy playbook? My time on the SP 40 years ago didn't help one bit. We didn't have flashing greens or screwball stuff like "Medium Approach Medium".  :?

It's amazing how different some on the Signals are from the ones we use in Canada...

Yep. They're the NORAC aspects,Nebuchadnezzar is what Conrail and Amtrak use in the northeast. They're descended from pennsy stuff.
