| Victorian Railways Curve/Speed boards |
|
Curve boards are a
common sight all over the Victorian Railways system and are placed at the
entrance to a curve whenever a curve is sharp enough to require a speed
lower than the maximum track speed. Before metric conversion curve boards
were white with cast iron black numerals. Speeds were shown in MPH and in
the early 1980's curve boards became metric (yellow with black numerals) 7
years after the introduction of the metric system. Curve speeds only apply
until the train exits the curve. Unlike many other railways, Victoria has
never used signs to indicate the maximum speed for a section. |
