  • Abstract
    This article describes the theory and implementation of two basic railway control systems which are necessary to ensure safe and reliable operation of the complete network. The author discusses the theory of train dynamics, block signalling, and moving block signalling. The author then discusses the interlocking of points and signals including the theory, technology and implementation of interlocking.<>
