The two aspect colour light signal is the equivalent of the traditional mechanical stop signal. The screen above is known as a 'theatre' indicator and would inform the driver which track he was being routed onto. Below is a 'calling on' signal which would allow a driver to pass the main signal at red to pull forward at slow speed for a shunting manoeuvre.
