In Florida on the CSX lines I noticed a flashing green light on the signals back there. What does that indicate? We here in the west don't normally see that out here.

CSX has three different signal aspects that display a flashing green:

1. Approach Limited (yellow over flashing green over red). Proceed, approaching next signal not exceeding Limited Speed.

2. Limited Clear (red over flashing green over red). Limited Speed through turnouts, crossovers, sidings, and over power-operated switches then proceed.

3. Medium Approach Medium (red over yellow over flashing green). Medium Speed through turnouts, crossovers, sidings, and over power-operated switches then proceed, approaching next signal not exceeding Medium Speed.

Thank you both for your response.

Furthermore, as a general practice, any signal with a flashing light is slightly more favorable than the same color combination with a steady light in the same position. That way, if the flasher mechanism doesn't work, a more restrictive aspect is displayed.

Or a Medium Go Fast!

Slow clear on a CPL (former B&O) signal still used by CSX has both green lights flashing with no marker light

Think out west it means reduce to 60mph.
