Double line automatic signalling
- Double line automatic signalling
-
Double Line Automatic Signalling is a form of railway signalling utilised on the majority of double line sections in New Zealand. Double Line Automatic Signalling utilises track circuits to detect the presence of trains in sections broken up by intermediate signals.
Usually there is an 'up' and a 'down' main line, and beyond station limits the lines are not bi-directionally signalled.
At junctions or points, one of or both mains signals are usually controlled either remotely (by a Train Controller or Signalmen) or switched in at a local panel.
Sidings off one or both mains are usually operated by switchlock lever points secured by padlock and track circuit presence that enables a release to be given before points can be operated.
