This invention is a railroad wayside signal system positioned adjacent to a railroad track that comprises a mast that is attached to a support structure in an upright position. A signal head having one or more signal lights is mounted to the mast such that a locomotive operator in an approaching locomotive can see the signal lights. The mast pivots with respect to the support structure between the upright position and a substantially horizontal position for maintaining and/or aligning the signal head and signal lights. The signal system may also be equipped with one or more actuators operatively connected to the signal head. A remote control unit is placed in communication with the actuators, and the remote control has an input mechanism for inputting a command representative of a direction of rotation of the signal head. The remote control also generates a signal in response to the input command that is representative of one or more directions of rotation.

L~invention concerne un système de signal en bordure de chemin de fer, placé à côté d~une voie de chemin de fer et comprenant un mât fixé verticalement à une structure support. Une tête de signal comportant un ou plusieurs feux de signal est montée sur le mât de façon à ce que le ou les feux de signal soient visibles par le conducteur d~une locomotive s~approchant du système de signal. Le mât pivote par rapport à la structure support entre une position verticale et une position sensiblement horizontale de façon à maintenir et/ou aligner la tête de signal et les feux de signal. Le système de signal peut également être équipé d~un ou de plusieurs actionneurs couplés de façon fonctionnelle à la tête de signal. Un module de commande à distance communiquant avec le ou les actionneurs comprend un mécanisme de saisie permettant de saisir une commande indiquant un sens de rotation de la tête de signal. Le module de commande à distance génère également un signal en réponse à la commande saisie indiquant un ou plusieurs sens de rotation.
