RAILROAD SIGNALS of the U.S.

the HOUSTON LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM

This section highlights the Metro Light Rail system running in Houston Texas.  The system opened in 2004.   It is a relatively short system, but a number of extensions are planned, as can be seem in my map.

The signals of this light rail system are simple - bar signals prevail, with a few yellow and white "ball" signals at interlockings and gated crossings, respectively.  All signals are LED's.
