Describe the Suggestion
Something that would be nice to have, is some kind of advanced signal box that can display four different lighting states of clear
, approach medium
, approach
, and stop
the closer a train gets to another train in a signal block. This would be most useful for human operators.
Here's a diagram I found that illustrates what I mean:

Note that this becomes complicated when there are diverging tracks between these signals. Some way to indicate what signal is next would be necessary.
I think that 4 states might be a bit too much. Taking from Factorio, I would feel that 3 would be easier to understand and implement.
- Red - the current block is occupied.
- Yellow - this block is free, but the next block is occupied.
- green - this and the next block are free.
