It's not a repeater, it's a shunting signal It can allow shunting movements even if the main signal says stop

Thanks. From what I remember, shunt signals used to be on the ground on all other routes. But it makes sense now Thanks a lot for this. Will read it in detail
Yeah the reason why especially semaphore shunting signals are sometimes quite high up is that the signaller needs to be able to see them from the viewpoint of the signal box To check if the signal is working correctly and not stuck in Sh1 position, which would be a huge safety risk.
