The simple answer is: there are no rendering rules (and no icons either) for 
signals outside Germany and Austria.

To proceed I suggest to first suggest a tagging scheme and put it in the wiki 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap/Tagging_in_North_America). 
Then get some icons and write a stylesheet or ask for help, I'm meanwhile 
quite used to hack those things together. Then create a PR on GitHub 
(https://github.com/rurseekatze/OpenRailwayMap) so it can get merged.

While at it, the "operator" tagging suggested there is not compatible with 
what we use elsewhere: operator gives the _track_ operator, i.e. the company 
that sends the workers out to fix the tracks or signals or whatnot. What lines 
run on those tracks is of no interest for ORM (it goes to route relations for 
route!=tracks).

Are those pictures available for photo-mapping?
