All the exaples below have the basic signaling shown on the images, better signalling positions can improve their preformance if nessesary.

Y Junctions

Y-Junctions act as a convergence or divergence points between two routes on a railway line. Simple solutions tend to work well, but tend to have significant drawbacks when used at high capacity.

Junction Single Pass.png Single Track Junction with passing loop A more advanced junction with space to allow trains to pass. Medium 3 0

Terminus Junctions

These are a selection of junctions that go at the end of a railway line, these are deigned for both high capacity and the ability to turn the trains arround to prevent the locomotives from reversing on their return journey.
