In night conditions, which action represents the All Right hand signal?

• A. Holding steady white light
• B. Waving a red flag
• C. Raising a red torch
• D. Holding arm horizontal toward the train

Answer: (A)

In night conditions, signals are conveyed with lights to stay visible in the dark. The All Right signal means “proceed,” and it is shown by holding a steady white light. A steady light is clear and unambiguous for train crews at night, indicating you are in place and it’s safe to continue. The red signals (flag or torch) indicate danger or the need to stop, not all clear. An arm held horizontally toward the train is a daytime gesture and isn’t used at night because it isn’t reliably visible in the dark. So the action of holding a steady white light is the All Right signal.
