Yes, Chris,

It would confuse you as your rules are different than ours. Ours are three to back up and two for any other signal not Defined. Going Forward, either in Switching or on the Road leaving a depot are not defined. This is why you hear two shorts when a train is leaving, as a warning to people around the train, especially in a tourist situation. Or you hear two when a locomotive is pulling out a cut from a yard track, or two to acknowledge that it's time to go to beans.

Rick
