Let me ask you what happens if two cars from opposite ends of the  
block try to occupy the single track at the same time?    What signal  
aspect do they get?   And how do they resolve it?   If you don't tell  
the crews, they don't know what to do.   It isn't simply red and green.

What is a spacing signal?   What is an absolute block signal?   Etc.  
Etc. Etc.

Of course, we won't have spacing signals because we have no double  
track.
