Here's the text from the cross post so you don't need to click to see what the message is about:

Especially railroaders and signal maintainers?

I'd like some help in placement of signals.

The diagram and a photo of the location in progress is posted here.

The railroad modeled is the Wabash in the early 1950's with NYC/NKP
trackage ending at the diamond but these RR's running transfer trains
down to the transfer yard. The transfer yard is located on a Wabash
branchline. Please note the notations on the diagram as to types of
signaling etc. I understand the Wabash used US&S signalling
exclusively. I don't have a problem with three headed signals if
applicable. All the transfer tracks are live for transfer of trains.

There is one change however. I have moved the siding west of the
bridge on the south side of the tracks to the north side of the tracks.
This is to be a running track to a passenger station.

I'd like to think I'm more knowledgeable than the average model
railroader on signaling, but I have one burning question. Usual logic
would be to have the home signal west of the bridge for eastbounds but would there
be any way to have home signal(s) east of the bridge to pull trains
closer to the diamond? I was thinking of placing one right outside of
the east bridge portal or having that one plus another just west of
the diamond and allowing the one signal do a call on signal.
(Yes, I know that interlocking signals are absolute.)

Perhaps you can print the diagram off, make your notations and post
them back here.

Bryan, I don't know if you're trying to help or just make me mad but you've suceeded in the later. Why don't you stay out of other people's threads? Posting a link to corral all the replies in the same place is perfectly acceptable on this site". It saves space, provides one place for the replies and I don't see why making one extra click is such a big deal.
