Two of them at each location, one at each end of the crossover.
Why are there indicator lights near the ground? Aren’t there signals higher up? Most switches don’t have indicator lights in addition to the regular signals, and it seems imprudent to put any sort of light that is meant to be interpreted where it could get covered in snow. Plus isn’t it redundant to have two sets of lights?
it's a requirement to have redundant indicators because the interlocking signals may not reset properly while the switch may be in the correct position. the switch point indicators are also required to be on the ground by the switch points
