This might just be my guess, but since this a 2 track rail line, one signal could be for one track and the other signal could be for the other track

It lights up to indicate not to turn on red. How else would it work?

Not the blankout sign, silly. :Tongue2:

I'm just wondering, how are the lights mean't to work when there are crossbucks at the intersection and just a pair of lights mounted on the mast.
