The railway block code is a system of bells used to send simple messages about train operations from one signalbox to another. For example:

  • 1 bell - attention
  • 2 bells - train depart
  • 1 - 2 - 1 bells - light engine
  • 4 bells - passenger train
  • 3 bells - train arrive

This is not correct for uk

3 -2 is light engine
