What does stopping at a fusee indicate about the train's speed?

Stopping at a fusee indicates that the train must proceed at Restricted Speed afterward. This protocol is in place because a fusee serves as a warning signal, often used to alert the crew of a train to potential hazards or to signal that additional caution is required. Upon stopping at a fusee, the intention is to ensure the crew is aware of any upcoming conditions that necessitate decreased speed for safety.

Restricted Speed means that the train must be able to stop within half the distance of the range of vision, ensuring that it can react appropriately to any unexpected circumstances. This operational guideline helps maintain safety in areas where conditions may change quickly or where there might be obstructions on the track that are not otherwise indicated by permanent signals.
