The Semaphore app provides quick and easy access to descriptions of signals displayed on semaphores and signals. With this application you will learn about the regulations, signals and indicators on the railroad infrastructure, wherever and whenever you need it.
A convenient and user-friendly interface will allow you to view any signal you are interested in. Virtual semaphores show specific signals, their corresponding definitions, a description of where the signal occurs, and the speed at which you can travel by it. In addition, the application includes a successively updated database of indicators and signals used on the railroad infrastructure.
The application does not contain ads and is free. Comments on the application, its future development or corrections are very welcome.
