What's the difference between just "encoded position of locomotive" and "encoded position of EVERY locomotive"?

Hello,
What's the difference between just "encoded position of locomotive" and "encoded position of EVERY locomotive"? So far these outputs are equal for me.

Well, the vanilla locomotive is just called Locomotive so the name can be misleading.

Of every locomotive is clear I think.
Of Locomotive means the specific type of vanilla Loco.
Some mods add extra locos which also get such a signal for them self.

Ah, so with modded locos added, there would be another unique signal type for each of them?
