- A) Shunting Movements
- B) Block Movements
- C) Level Crossings
- D) None of These
Correct Answer: Shunting Movements
Explanation: Shunting Movements

- A) Stop
- B) Warner
- C) Proceed
- D) Attention
Correct Answer: Proceed
Explanation: Proceed
Q5. Whenever a shunt signal is provided below a main signal, the shunt signal controls जब भी मुख्य सिग्नल के नीचे शंट सिग्नल प्रदान किया जाता है, तो शंट सिग्नल नियंत्रण करता है।
- A) Shunting Movements
- B) Block Movements
- C) Level Crossings
- D) None of These
Correct Answer: Shunting Movements
Explanation: Shunting Movements
Q6. When a shunt signal is cleared, its signal aspect shall be: शंट सिग्नल क्लियर होने पर उसका सिग्नल पहलू यह होगा:
- A) Red ight
- B) Yellow light
- C) Green light
- D) White light
Correct Answer: White light
Explanation: Proceed
Q7. Shunt signal shall have at least aspects शंट सिग्नल में कम से कम निम्नलिखित पहलू होने चाहिए
- A) One
- B) Two
- C) Three
- D) Four
Correct Answer: Two
Explanation: Aspect Details Standard shunt signals display two aspects: ON (most restrictive, no light or disc with red bar indicating stop) and OFF (green light/disc authorizing shunting at 15 kmph with caution).
Q8. Shunt signals shall be provided at शंट सिग्नल निम्नलिखित स्थानों पर उपलब्ध कराए जाएंगे:
- A) Home Signal
- B) Starter Signal
- C) Outer Signal
- D) All of These
Correct Answer: Starter Signal
Explanation: All of These
Q9. When a shunt signal is cleared, train may pass through the signal at जब शंट सिग्नल साफ हो जाता है, तो ट्रेन सिग्नल से गुजर सकती है।
- A) “Not more than 15 km/h, prepared to stop short of an obstruction.”
- B) Any speed, provided the driver can stop within the distance they can see to be clear
- C) Not more than 15 km/h, only for propelling moves
- D) Line speed as shown in the Working Timetable
Correct Answer: “Not more than 15 km/h, prepared to stop short of an obstruction.”
Explanation: This option is correct because a cleared shunt signal typically authorizes only a restricted, low speed, often defined in rules as not more than 25 km/h (or a similar national limit) and requires the driver to proceed prepared to stop short of any obstruction. Unlike a main running signal, a shunt signal may not have full route locking and track‑clear assurance to the same extent, so the driver must assume there could be vehicles, open points, or staff on or near the line.\n\nThe key ideas are: (1) speed is capped at a low value that allows short stopping distances; (2) the driver must stay alert for ground staff, hand signals, points indicators, and buffer stops; and (3) the movement is usually for shunting, attaching, detaching, or positioning stock rather than running a full‑line service. This combination of a low speed limit and a defensive “prepared to stop” mindset is what keeps shunt moves safe in congested or complex track layouts.
Q10. Whenever shunt signal is provided below the stop signal, the aspect of the shunt signal shall be जब भी स्टॉप सिग्नल के नीचे शंट सिग्नल दिया जाता है, तो शंट सिग्नल का स्वरूप इस प्रकार होगा:
- A) Warner
- B) Proceed
- C) Attention
- D) Stop
Correct Answer: Stop
Explanation: Stop
