A two-tier position light shunting signal at Perth, numbered P64. The top and bottom signals in this pair apply to shunting movements from the Up Fast line to the left-hand and right-hand routes, respectively. The original signal heads have been replaced by Dorman LED units, which continue to show one red and one white light for the 'on' aspect, in common with the previous filament-lamp heads.
