  2. North American railroad signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_railroad...

    [1] [2] By the 1850s, railroad operating rules, often printed as pamphlets or on the back of a time card, had evolved to near universal application. On April 14, 1887 representatives of 48 railroads voted for the adoption of what is now known as the Standard Code of Operating Rules (SCOR), published by the AAR. Thus, all railroad rule books in ...

  3. Signalling block system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_block_system

    Most rail routes have a sort of natural block layout inherent in the layout of the railway stations. This provides the ability to implement a set of blocks using manual signalling based at these locations. In this case, the station operator places a flag indicating a train has just left the station, and removes it only after a fixed time.

  4. Automatic block signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_block_signaling

    Automatic block signaling (ABS), spelled automatic block signalling or called track circuit block (TCB [1]) in the UK, is a railroad communications system that consists of a series of signals that divide a railway line into a series of sections, called blocks. The system controls the movement of trains between the blocks using automatic signals.

  5. Signaling of the New York City Subway - Wikipedia

    Typically, the blocks are 1,000 feet (300 m) long, although some highly used lines, such as the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, use shorter blocks. Insulators divide the track segments into blocks. The two traveling rails form a track circuit, as they conduct electric current. If the track circuit is open and electricity cannot travel between the ...

  6. Track circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_circuit

    A rail break between the insulated rail joint and the track circuit feed wiring would not be detected. Failure modes that result in an incorrect "track clear" signal (known usually in North America as a "false clear") may allow a train to enter an occupied block, creating the risk of a collision.

  7. Absolute block signalling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_block_signalling

    Absolute block signalling is a British signalling block system designed to ensure the safe operation of a railway by allowing only one train to occupy a defined section of track (block) at a time. [1] Each block section is manually controlled by a signalman, who communicates with the other block sections via telegraph.

  8. Automatic train control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_train_control

    D-ATC indicator used on the E233 series trains. The digital ATC system uses the track circuits to detect the presence of a train in the section and then transmits digital data from wayside equipment to the train on the track circuit numbers, the number of clear sections (track circuits) to the next train ahead, and the platform that the train will arrive at.

  9. Ballastless track - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballastless_track

    The rails, which can be either traditional Vignole Rails with a head, web and foot, or block rails with no web, are either cast into the slots by an elastic compound or surrounded by a close-fitting boot before being fixed in place with grout. Both the surface mounted rail and the embedded block rail can be simply removed and replaced.
