What is the signal description for track 12 at the West End of Jamaica Signals?

• A. Westbound color light low home on the ground
• B. Westbound color light low home on a pole
• C. Westbound suspended color light low home (Je)
• D. Westbound low home on the ground (Je)

Answer: (B)

The signal description shows how the signal is presented: the direction of travel, the signal type, its height or position, and how it’s mounted. For Jamaica’s West End, a color light signal that acts as a home signal for westbound traffic on track 12 is mounted on a pole and is described as a low home. That combination—westbound, color light, low home, on a pole—is the one that matches the standard setup, so it is the best choice. The other descriptions imply mounting or position that wouldn’t apply here (a ground-mounted or suspended signal, or a ground-level interpretation for a color-light home), so they don’t fit the actual signal configuration for that location.
