10.3.2 SIGNALLING INTERLOCKING CONFIGURATION
PPP Co. are to provide Microlok II interlockings to control the signalling within the PPP Yard
Area
All signalling within the PPP Yard Area is to be designed and installed as a separate system
from the signalling systems on the adjacent RailCorp Network subject to the necessary
integration required for the Access Control Areas. All train movements in the PPP Yard Area
(and Access Control Areas when under the control of the PPP Co. Yard Controller) are to be
independent of the RailCorp Signallers. Wherever possible, failures on the RailCorp system
must not impact on operations within the PPP Yard Area, and vice versa.
Microlok cardfiles are to be located at relevant signal locations with interconnection by
duplicated single multi-mode fibre optic links.
