Penzance too Longrock signaling


Recommended Posts

I took my boy to Penzance station the other morning to see the sleeper train come in. After arrival the shunter then came down the line to take the empty stock and loco, back to Longrock depot. My question revolves around the next part, whilst waiting for departure, the signal stayed red, however the little signal to the side (I assume a shunt signal) two white lights, see picture changed, and the train departed. Is this the shunt signal? if so why is it not normally illuminated? and would this signal always be used for movements too Longrock? or is this to do with the shunter collecting the train.

Sorry if my terminology is incorrect, and that this might seem like a easy one, or that this question is in the wrong place, but have no background in signalling, and would really like to know

 

thanks will
