    Hello everybody

    I drive with PZB on and have no issues with german signaling. However, on Ruhr-Sieg Nord sometimes I see some white boards with only a Letter F. Does anybody knows what it means?

    If you mean this:

    the F stands for Fernsprecher - an outdated term for a telephone. There's a telephone in the box to contact the dispatcher if needed.

    Yes, that is it. Thank you for the explanation, now I feel dumb for thinking it was a signal board... :(
