If a train now leaves A, it will enter block section 1. This section is then
blocked for all other trains. Another train leaves B in the direction of A, thus
blocking block section 4.
blocked for all other trains. Another train leaves B in the direction of A, thus
blocking block section 4.
The first train‘s route leads into block section 2. As soon as this train and
all wagons has left block section 1, this section is then clear and available
for a new train, and instead, block section 2 is now blocked.

The train must now wait until the second train has entered block section 3,
thus making block section 4 available again.

Route with block signals
In this example you can see the function of block signals. The route is
secured by means of main signals at the stations and block signals on the
route in between. This constellation creates one large main section and
three smaller block sections.

three smaller block sections.
One train now leaves A in B‘s direction. The train is in block section 1. The
whole main block section is now blocked. However, block section 2 is clear
because there is currently no train in that section (secured through block
signals). Nonetheless, nothing can happen in the opposite direction because
the main block section is blocked (secured through main signals).

because there is currently no train in that section (secured through block

the main block section is blocked (secured through main signals).
Now the train has arrived in block section 2. Of course this block section
is now blocked. However, a train can now move from A into block section
one. This is possible because the main signal knows that another block
signal is securing the route between the train coming from A and the train
ahead of the train coming from A.

one. This is possible because the main signal knows that another block
signal is securing the route between the train coming from A and the train
ahead of the train coming from A.
Using this method, up to three trains can run on the route between A and
B, in the same direction. However, only one train is allowed per block
section.
B, in the same direction. However, only one train is allowed per block
section.
The conclusion: when you use main signals to secure a route, only one
train may run on that route between those stations, however if you place
block signals as an additional method of securing the route, you can also
run more than one train in one direction on that route.

Signals and switches
If you are using signals on switches you should always place the signal at
the double-end. Otherwise the system will not work properly.

Signale sollten bei Weichen immer am doppelten Ende
plaziert werden. Nur so wird das System wirklich funk
tionieren.
