I understand that the best that can be said for the standard track circuit system failure is that the trains will stop
running.

If one track circuit fails in the existing automatic block system,
trains receive permission to key by. If it is a really hot
area, a supervisor will be sent down to give permission directly
and keep trains moving. It doesn't shut down an entire line or
section.

That's an interesting "early spec". I wonder if it is really
implemented that way. I wonder if fail-over testing will be done?
