Answer: Proceed at restricted speed
Feedback:
An automatic interlocking is not controlled by a train dispatcher or control operator. The signals work automatically based on train movements approaching the interlocking. If the signal doesn't upgrade to a proceed, that might mean there's a track condition or someone in that block. Moving at restricted speeds ensures the crew can stop short of anything in the block ahead.
