It’s pretty standard in a situation like that to have both switches set for the diverging route in the unlikely even that a M/M on that tk ran the home signal. If the switch were set in the normal position then a train running the home ball protecting the interlocking could “T bone” the train coming off Lex even though it would be slowed down due to being tripped. With both switches set to the reverse (diverging) position A train running the homeball would switch to the diverging route avoiding a collision. Any place where there is an at grade junction will function the same way.
