Signals all.JPG


Main purpose of signals is to prevent trains from crashing into each other while driving on the same track and that's why they are important part of any railway system - safety first guys!
Signals divide railway line into series of "blocks". If one "block" is occupied by a train then signal dividing these "blocks" won't allow any other train to enter that occupied block
until this "block" is cleared.


Placing of signals:
one left mouse button click = two way signal will be placed on a railway track
second left mouse button click on the same signal = two way signal will be transformed to one way signal
(side of the track we clicked on will determine the orientation of the one way signal)

Signals cannot be placed in tunnels, on bridges, at stations and directly on railway intersections.



Different kinds of signals:

Type Block Signal Information
Two way signal Two way signal.JPG Allowing trains to pass in both ways - mostly used in dead end stations with low traffic.
One way signal One way signal.JPG Allowing trains to move only in one direction - often used on double tracks with high traffic.
