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.Heypaul : Along the right of way on the Brighton Line you will see wayside signals . There control access to the length of track ahead of them. This is a block. When you encounter the next wayside signal that signifies the end of the block and the start of the next one. Remember that when you are viewing the lights on a signal mast you are looking at the rear of the signal. Some tracks such as in the river tunnels are signaled for traffic in both directions. Out on the mainline they may be signaled for traffic in one direction only. This is called "current of traffic". If say a tree falls on the track and you need to reverse the train in order to clear the track special procedures must be put into effect. First you must hold all traffic clear of the track. They you can reverse the stalled train and run in backwards to the next interlocking. At that point you stop the train and wait for clearance to enter the interlocking. This should always be done at a restricted or slow speed with adequate supervision on board. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
