Answer: Restricted speed
Feedback:
All reverse movements must be made at restricted speed. The block signal indication in this scenario does not relieve the train crew from the requirements of moving at restricted speed. This signal does inform the crew that the block to the rear is clear of obstructions like a train, switch lined improperly, and broken rail to name a few.
