Correctly painted this switch stand.
Divergent off the mainline should be labeled "RED".
This one is now correct. |
 |
| "Green" means mainline direct. |
 |
"Red" means mainline divergent.
This one now matches the other crossover switch. |
That has been bothering me for some time now.
What a relief to finally get this done.
 |
I will also update the paperwork from running
Mixed Freight Train 5D WB. |
