(1908) Gladstone,
A 20-foot lattice signal has been fixed on the Jetty branch at the end of Gladstone station yard, and has been brought into use. The method of working is as follows. When the junction points are in the “normal” position (lying for the main line) the signal on the Jetty branch is locked at “danger”. When the SM makes the road for the Jetty branch, he will take the key from the cabin as usual, unlock the junction points, and make the road for the Jetty branch, thus releasing the signal.
