Both the DigiCon download and field download indicate it wasn't. However, I've described on another thread my own personal experience with a "false clear" with the same type of signal.

That said, there can be no argument that the Dual Control switch at CP Topanga was lined in the reverse position for the Leesdale to enter the siding, since it showed obvious damage from being run through by Metrolink 111. The position of the switch would be obvious to anyone in the cab who's paying attention. If I encountered such a situation (switch lined against me yet having received a Clear signal), I wouldn't just keep a'going.
