Signal gantry at Grosmount Station, North Yorkshire


A signal is a mechanical or electrical device erected beside a railway line to pass information relating to the state of the line ahead to train drivers/engineers. The driver interprets the signal's indication and acts accordingly. Typically, a signal might inform the driver of the speed at which the train may safely proceed, or it may instruct the driver to stop.
