Display of Train Positions
The states of a block outlined are indicated by the concerning traffic boxes in the
switchboard. In this way you can control in the switchboard, too, if a certain block is
occupied or reserved. Traffic boxes display the name and/or the image of the train, that
is currently located in the related block, in the switchboard. For further details refer to
5.5, “Train Detection and Train Tracking”, please.
Locking of Blocks
Each block can be temporarily locked during operation. Locked blocks cannot be reserved
nor entered by running trains. A train, that is already located in a block, when
the block is locked, might stay there, though, and leave the block later.
Please note that locking of a block affects all trains. Through the options of schedules it
is possible to exclude specific trains from using a certain block.
Locking the exit of Blocks
Each exit of any block can be temporarily locked during operation. A block cannot be
left through a locked exit. Trains may enter such blocks and may stay there, but they
cannot leave a block through a locked exit.
It is possible to lock either exit of each block individually and independently from the
opposite exit.
Please note that locking of a block exit affects all trains. Through the options of schedules
it is possible to exclude specific trains from leaving a block.
5.5 Train Detection and Train Tracking
TrainController is able to indicate the positions of your engines and trains on the
computer screen. This is always and automatically done in the screens of the Visual
Dispatcher, such as the main block diagram or the particular schedule diagrams.
The traffic boxes in the switchboard also display the state of the associated block and
optionally the name and/or image of the train that is located in this block.
