Re: A ? About Wrong Railing Operations on the Brighton Line

A block is a length of track with defined limits. The use of which may be governed by hand signals, verbal signals, or automatic signals.

An absolute block means that only one train at a time can occupy the block.


Hi Larry. I seem to be absolutely blocked in understanding what I allegedly saw.

So let's say the train I saw was running between Kings Hwy and Church. So how would that block be physically defined? A railroad tie across the tracks at each end? And let's say we have just one train trapped between those ties. Now would the trapped train be free to go up and back as it saw fit? Now the n/b Brighton express track is not reversed signalled. So it doesn't seem that it would be controlled by the existing signal system.
