Notes:

  • You may need to TAB signal G735 when approaching the reversing point, but not until after 2D03 has passed.
  • After passing G735, you’ll encounter an un-signalled crossover with a 20 MPH speed limit.
  • The actual reversing point is just beyond the end of the scenery, with no signals beyond this point. For this reason, the reversing point has been moved forward by one junction.
