Depots have a built-in signal, so there's no need to place a signal in front of a depot.

Stations don't divide signal blocks, they get included in them!.

A signal block is also closed by a depot, or at the end of a track.

When a train attempts to pass a signal, the signal checks the following signal block.

The track between two or more signals is called a "block" or "signal block".

Each signal is available in two different styles: as Semaphore or Light signal.
