About previous filename BSicon_BUEa.svg

[edit]
  1. This (valid) BSicon has no proper name, the suffix "a" indicates the "start" of a track as in (File:BSicon KBHFa.svg).
  2. Is there any reason why you turned the "Andrew's cross" by 90 degrees? If it's just because you think it looks better, I object using it!

Picking this up four years later:
  1. Agreed, this name is senseless (it would be the upper half of a 2-row cross signal!); the contents of this icon are better expressed as   (STR+lBUEq) as indeed it is  (lBUEqSTR) .
  2. The reason for this, while originally created as a wrong version of   (BUE), is that is now shows that the red line meets a level crossing where its own traffic flow yields[details] to that of an unspecified/undepicted line. Indeed, it is akin to bridges:
on the
track
crossing
the track
level
crossing
bridge
Its current use in w:es (after some icon corrections of rail diagrams in w:dk), for argentinian bus routes, reflects this very notion.
This icon should be therefore kept and renamed, and its usage untouched. -- Tuválkin 12:00, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
