    Explanation
    The indication for "Stop and Proceed" is to come to a complete stop and then proceed at a restricted speed. This is done until the entire train has cleared all interlocking and spring switches if the signal is an interlocking or CP Signal. Additionally, the entire train must have passed a more favorable signal or entered a non-signaled DCS Territory. In CSS territory, trains with operative cab signals must not increase their speed until they have traveled one train length or 500 feet (whichever distance is greater) past a location where a more favorable signal was received or where special instructions or letter G grade marker or letter R restricting marker with a number plate are displayed. Freight trains may observe the signal as if through restricting rule 290 were displayed.
