Rolf,
Thanks for the quick reply.  I think I am confused by the ISO symbolying that is suggested to be used in the value location of these attributes. Though I could be wrong. 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:railway:signal:distant
States:"only light and semaphore signals railway:signal:distant:states=* – displayable signal apsects (e.g. stop, proceed, proceed at low speed, …). The value should begin with a country-operator-prefix, e.g. DE-ESO: or AT-V2" 

additionally in this email from the archive https://lists.openrailwaymap.org/archives/openrailwaymap/2015-July/000311.html
"...the aspects of signals can show the following:

- main: Hp0, Ks1
- distant: Ks1, Ks2"

There is no chart I could find with these ISO codes or any other documentation I could find.
Thank You
Nat Proudfoot (Stolzfuß)

I don't really get the question(s), but I'll try to assist. The distant states
are usually "expect pass", "expect slow pass", and "expect stop".

I guess the second should be ":speed" at the end? This will show the speed
that the actual signal will have, e.g. "60", "100", or "65 mph".
