Signal communication system

A method, comprising:

• generating light using a lamp of a signaling lamp assembly responsive to receiving an activation signal, the light indicative of a status of a wayside device;
• receiving timing signals at a receiver of the signaling lamp assembly from one or more remote signal sources;
• outputting a time indication based on the timing signals that are received by the receiver, outputting the time indication responsive to the lamp receiving the activation signal;
• and
• communicating a status signal responsive to the lamp receiving the activation signal using a communication device of the signaling lamp assembly, the status signal indicating the status of the wayside device and the time indication.

A method, comprising:

• generating a first signal using a signaling assembly responsive to receiving an activation signal, the first signal indicative of a status of a wayside device;
• receiving timing signals at a receiver of the signaling assembly from one or more remote signal sources;
• outputting a time indication based on the timing signals that are received by the receiver, outputting the time indication responsive to the signaling assembly receiving the activation signal;
• and
• communicating a status signal responsive to the signaling assembly receiving the activation signal using a communication device of the signaling assembly, the status signal indicating the status of the wayside device and the time indication.
