Answer: No, permission from the control operator is required

Feedback:
- The key point is that this is the trailing end of the movement. - The trailing end could be the locomotive depending on which way the train is moving. - Signals cannot change aspects while within the control points, however, the switch can be lined for a different route. - The switch is on a different circuit than the signals, so the control operator can still line the switch while the train is within the control points.
