Modern line signals contains one white light bulb, and, if needed, a green light bulb. The background is reflective, so that the absent of light can easily be spotted. A blue colored light are created by raising and holding a weighted lens in front of the white light bulb. A single bulb signal can show 5 aspects, while a dual bulb signal can show 8 aspects. Dual bulb signals are used before diverging lines and station. All aspects are fail-safe. Opposing signals are places 1.5-2 reungs (1.06-1.42 mi/1.71-2.28 km) apart as a protective measure against passing signals that has failed to stop aspect.
