Back when in lived in Orlando, Flori-duh I did a reprint of the PRCo/PAT signal manual. It does have some good information. I do still have the reprint saved on the pc if anyone is interested.

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
