A railroad switch position indicator configured for direct attachment to switch points which guide a train from one track to another. The indicator has first and second rotating reflector signals spring biased into a neutral position signaling caution. The first rotating reflector signal rotates in response to movement of the switch points against the spring bias while the second rotating reflector signal remains in neutral position when the switch points are lined for a first direction. The second rotating reflector signal rotates in response to movement of the switch points against the spring bias while the first set of reflectors remain in neutral position when the switch points are lined for a second direction.
