East End of Jamaica signals: Eastbound low homes on ground (Hw) are on which tracks?

• A. tracks 1, 4, 6, 7
• B. tracks 3, 5, 8, 11
• C. tracks 2, 9, 10
• D. tracks 12 only

Answer: (B)

The key idea is how signals are arranged to control movement in a specific direction. A ground home signal (Hw) marks the entrance to the next block for trains coming from the East End, and its position is tied to particular tracks used by eastbound trains. In this setup, the tracks that carry eastbound traffic into the box are equipped with these ground-level home signals, specifically on tracks 3, 5, 8, and 11. This arrangement ensures drivers see a clear Hw signal at the correct location as they approach the next block. The other tracks either use different signal types or serve westbound or non-block-entry roles, so they don’t carry eastbound Hw signals.
