There are a few other airports that have this, and my understanding is that only one aircraft can do the approach at a time. If another plane tunes in the ILS they will see the localizer and glideslope indications for the other plane.

I’m not sure how the TLS figures out what transponder to look at, I guess either the controller enters in the code of the plane on approach or there’s some reserved transponder code for the approach.
