Broad overview of railroad signaling; but I would have liked more technical detail.

A very interesting and educative book about railroad signaling. Not only for the text , but for the photos and diagrams as well.

The book is a good basic literature for the railroad fan. Describes the signaling and the different typed at US RR?s and some RR?s in Europe.
"Railroad Signaling" Gets a "Highball" March 2, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
Brian Solomon does a wonderful job at explaining the complexities of railroad traffic control in his book "Railroad Signaling". Rather than just explain how modern systems function, he starts with a history of how railroad signal systems began and then goes through a step by step process of how the systems evolved in Great Britian and in the United States. As a result, it provides the fundamental principles upon which modern signaling systems are designed today.
Although signaling rules vary across the country (and the world), and not every detail can be discussed, I find the book explains the subject completely.
I found all of this information and the illustrations very helpful in understanding the meanings of modern railroad signals. This book is well-designed and jam-packed with beautiful photographs that any railfan will enjoy. (My book resides on the coffee table!)
I believe this book is also a good resource for model railroaders who intend to duplicate prototype signaling systems on their layouts.
