Q. WHAT ARE SINGLE LINE BLOCK, TWIN SINGLE LINE BLOCK, ETC.?
July 16, 2019

A single line block system has just one track, which may be used for traffic in both directions. Signals are provided for both directions, and the token exchange or other system of interlocking works for traffic going either way. The basic principle is to restrict access to a block of track to a single train at a time, whether going in the up or

The ball is dispensed by a Token Instrument at either end of the block. The two

How do the block or token instruments work?
July 16, 2019

In manual block working of double lines, the block instruments that connect the two signalboxes (and which dispense the tokens in the case of token systems) have to be coordinated by the signal operators at the two signalboxes. The signalbox that accepts a train into its block section must first set the Line Clear indication on the block
