Different kind of TMCC signal question

Super'O' manOGR Forum Member

Lets say you have a powered beacon tower next to a track(all TMCC/Legacy setup) and you want to add a simple blinking water tower nearly on the opposite side of that track. To save some work, the water tower is wired from the beacon, and the wires pass directly under the track(don't worry about esthetics), would this cause a signal problem? thanks.

It shouldn't. The size of the wire and also the amount of current sent through the wire would not be enough to cause signal problems.
