(see also: BRAKING PERCENTAGE)Ī line diverging from a main line to serve smaller towns with low traffic. This value is mainly use for braking evaluation on North American railways. The brake cylinder force divided by the weight of the vehicle. This value is mainly used for braking evaluation on UIC railways. The percentage of the braking weight on the actual weight of a vehicle or train. May get to a stop from a speed of 120 km/h over a distance ofġ000 m on an even track with no wind. The weight, which multiplied by 1.25 equals the weight the vehicle The time interval in which a section of track is exclusivelyĪllocated to a train movement and therefore blocked for other trains.Ī fixed sign that marks the limit of a blockĪ member of a train crew who assists the engineer in the train handling. Which a train may only enter when it is not occupied by other vehicles.Ī signalling system that provides a safe spacing of trains. That term is mainly used in British signalling.Īssorting freight cars within a train into groups (blocks) bound for individual destinatons. The track circuit that is immediately on the approach to a signal. That term is mainly used in British signalling. The track section, on which a train comes to a halt at a stop signal. Train protection (ATP) system or as reference point for train Which enter the section with the number of axles which leave the section.Ī transponder that is used as a data point in an intermittent automatic ![]() Occupancy of a section is detected by comparing the number of axles When the engineer fails to acknowledge a restrictive signal.Įnds of a section and a counter connected to the counting points.
