Jim, are you referring to "S" and "W" which appear on a map or timetable?

To my knowledge, actual signs on the right of way for "W" is a signal to whistle, which could be a road crossing or station approach. "S", is a symbol indicating a spring switch. I do agree that "W" in a timetable indicates water, and "S" is a station. "C" is coal. But those would not be marked on the right of way. A station sign, even on a post would designate a particular location, a water tank or spout is pretty obvious.
