Xplorer entering Goulburn
Train number SP31 Sydney to Canberra, worked by Xplorer 3-car DMU, at North Goulburn.
The home signal it is passing was one of the first in the state to be fitted with a "rabbit ear" turnout repeater, this first style using a UK "feather" junction indicator. Unlike UK use, however, when lit it means that the turnout (junction) route is set beyond the following (next) signal, so it actually provides advance notice of the turnout. The yellow light in the signal is actually flashing.
