7.1.10  Overlap  beyond  IB  signal  (Class  C  station):  shall  not  be  less  than  400
                         meters beyond IB home.

                         GR 8.04:  At a class C station on single line or double line, in two aspect, multiple
                         aspect or modified lower quadrant signalling, the line shall not be considered clear
                         and line clear shall not be given, unless-

                            (a) the whole of last preceding train has passed complete  at least 400 meters
                                beyond the home signal and is continuing it`s journey and…..


                7.1.11  Visibility of Signals: The minimum visibility distance of various signals shall
                         be as under;

                         (a) Distant Signal - 400 meters.

                         Note: (i) Where it is not possible to obtain 400 meters of continuous visibility (due to site
                         constraints), then imposition of a suitable speed restriction may be considered.
                                  (ii) An Inner Distant Signal (where provided), shall be continuously visible from a
                         minimum distance of 200 meters.

                         (b) All Stop Signals - 200 meters.

                         Note: Where it is not possible to obtain 200 meters of continuous visibility of any stop
                         Signal (due to site constraints), then a suitable speed restriction shall be imposed.

                7.1.12  Aspects of Signals

                         (a) Aspects of Distant Signals

                            (i)  In Single Distant Territory:
                                  The Distant signal shall display; a yellow light (bottom)  in the 'ON'

                                   position for the 'Caution' aspect, Two yellow lights in a vertical line
                                   (Distinguishably apart) for the 'Attention' aspect and one green light
                                   for the 'Proceed' aspect.

                            (ii)  In Double Distant Territory:

                                  The Distant signal shall display; two yellow lights in a vertical line
                                   (Distinguishably apart) in the 'ON' position for the 'Attention' aspect,
                                   and one green light for the 'Proceed' aspect.

                                  Inner Distant signal shall display; a yellow light (bottom) in the 'ON'
                                   position for the 'Caution' aspect, two yellow lights in a vertical line

                                   (Distinguishably apart) for the 'Attention' aspect and one green light
                                   for the 'Proceed' aspect. Inner Distant signal shall display the same
                                   aspects as that of Distant signal in Single Distant territory.
