i've been out checking my old manuals,
on the Camden & Amboy (c1855) one long blast starting 90 rods before a crossing was the signal for a grade crossing
the same signal is listed by Hartford Providence & Fishkill in 1874
two long two short seems to come into use about 1890,
i've got some more books,
i'll keep looking
