Which term refers to a territory where cab signals are used to convey information to the operator?

• A. Right-Of-Way
• B. Aspect
• C. Line-Of-Sight
• D. Cab Signal Territory

Answer: (D)

Cab signaling transmits information directly to the operator inside the locomotive, allowing the engineer to receive speed, route, and authority without relying on trackside signals. The area where this system is active is called Cab Signal Territory, which designates the portion of track governed by cab signals. This distinguishes it from Right-Of-Way, which is about who has authority to operate on a route; from Aspect, which is the specific signal indication shown on a trackside signal; and from Line-Of-Sight, which is the observer’s view of signals.
