For Good Signaling References Try Google Books

While doing some research I was reminded that a lot of really informative books and technical journals are fully indexed and available free on Google Books.  Typically, niche railroad signaling books are only to be found at train shows and have steep prices.  Google Books lack the tactile element, but have all the information as well as a better index.

For example, when searching for information on GRS's "Dynamic Indication" I found it discussed in this volume of  Railway Signaling and Communications.  Moreover, when researching Switch-Signal protections, I found information on that and a lot more in the book Railroad Signaling and railroad Operation.
