Semaphores are simple devices that can help in creating a vast railroads data pipe.

Signalization is mandatory if you want more than one train to use a single track.

The basic signalization bang out.

It can stop and let in locomotives from both sides.

The most frequently used signalization punch in.

It enables the locomotives to ride only in one direction.

The train will plan its track so that it won’t ride in opposite direction.

Perfect when creating bypass points, tracks consisting of a few lines, entrances and exits from stations.

The game counts each track with no semaphores as a single block.Only one train can move in such area.

PC

Imagine yourself that you created a loop that connects two stations and a depot.

If you place another semaphore, you will cut the whole track into two blocks.

Addition of more semaphores will create more blocks.

PC

Additionally, construction of one-direction semaphores will save you from traffic jams.

If you want to create a functional crossroad,you must place semaphores at each entrance/exit.

This will create five blocks: four access roads and one in the middle, among the semaphores.

PC

Thanks to that not a single train will be let in as long as there is another train inside.

One block will be before and behind the passing loop and two more will be inside it.

The train will keep starting to move and stopping.

PC

You will waste valuable time and slow down other trains.

This could block many signals and paralyze the whole line.
