Train Traffic Signal

The train traffic signal helps you to more easily detect a more distant signal. As we're not expected to ride trains this won't have benefits for the train, but it's supposed to help you when you want to safely cross a railroad without spidertron. I've always wanted to know if a train is coming without having to zoom out. The idea is that you can select whether it detects a or range of segment/s or block/s. For example I can set it up to detect the 11th - 12th (xmin; xmax) previous segments which includes branches like breath first search. If a train is on the xmin + 1 - xmax segment it'll show yellow, if it's on 0 - xmin it shows red, if it's on -1 and less or xmax + 1 it's green. Another way is to add a chain traffic detector to connect to the traffic signal in order to make a full line and to prevent junctions messing up the system. You should probably be able to still set up when it's yellow or red, though yellow doesn't make sense to have on a traffic signal.
