Test Mile Signs

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any asset packs/routes that have signs for marking up Test Mile sections.

Thanks! :D

Hi xxuntitledxx,
Do you have a photo ?
When route bulding I see these "test miles" in the track charts, but I have no clue whether there are really special signs for that.
All I can read is just a remark like "between milepost 345 and 346 is test mile".

Here's a couple of examples.

Next to the Mile marker. The sign says "BEGIN" Test Mile on one side and "END" Test Mile on the other.

On the Conrail side of things it says "Begin Measured Mile" on one and usually they have a fluorescent marker on the post. The reciprocal says "End Measured Mile" as shown below.

Hopefully this helps.
