Before you get your approval to run the service on a signal box, you need to find out about the local characteristics. After training as a general trainee signalman, dispatchers were always paired with a person skilled in the signal box. This chapter is the brief introduction to the area. Read it carefully. It contains very important information.
The text is "peer to peer" written as if you are in the signal box, the first day after training.
Have a more detailed look at the Bonn-Bad Godesberg panel here.

Bad Godesberg Pbf
Bad Godesberg Nord
This yard is only used to put a freight train away or the turning around of the ICE trains in the morning.
Note that on the panel the yard is called "Bad Godesberg Gbf" (Gbf = freight yard). This is a legacy issue. The yard is now called Bonn-Bad Godesberg Nord (North) and is abbreviated KBBN.
