In durdnago they use hand signals for just about everything - except when they get back into some corner where the ground man can't be seen. It was not uncommon to have all three trainmen passing signals to the engineer.
Personally I'd rather use hand signals, but in this age of two-man crews, that's just about impossible.
And yes, most new guys don't know hand signals worth a flip.
