Really, Ever heard of the Nickel spur?
Signaled yard tracks are quite common.
While the vast Majority of the Nickel spur is other than main track a small portion where this track gains entry to the Cartier Sub is signaled through a cross-over track.
IIRC the best indication for a westbound move to the Cartier Sub would be a Slow Clear indication, which means proceed through the turnout at slow (15 MPH) speed after which time you may proceed at track speed as the block is clear. For movements to continue on the Nickel spur the indication would be a restricting signal. (max 15)
In general pot signals usually convey slower indications such as Medium and Slow speeds through cross overs or turnouts.
Pot signals often called dwarf signals are often employed as economy or where it's desired to avoid confusion for main track movements. I.E. Some railroads signal the ends of siding tracks with Pot signals.
A good book to read is called "Railroad Operation and Railway Signaling" by Phillips. It was originally published in 1941, reprinted and reasonable to obtain, the information still applies to modern railway signaling principals.
