How are non-interlocked (NI) stations operated?
July 16, 2019

Non-interlocked stations are what their name implies: there is no interlocking of any kind. The points have to be set appropriately and locked manually before pulling off a signal. The station master is personally responsible for ensuring that this is done and is supposed to have the keys to unlock the points with him or under his control. Trains

What are the different levels or standards of interlocking that IR specifies for stations?
July 16, 2019

A Standard I interlocked station has mechanical interlocking. It also usually has just one running line and a loop line (and perhaps a couple of sidings). These are usually branch line stations. The points are worked by point levers situated near the points, and the signals are worked from interlocking frames in the signal cabin. Key locking (see

In order to ensure that the signalling system never provides unsafe (conflicting) signals and the points are not set for more than one train that might end up proceeding on to the same section of track and hence suffering a collision, various schemes have been developed to coordinate the settings of the points and the signals within the region

What’s the ‘clearing point’ or ‘fouling point’ or ‘fouling mark’? What is ‘overlap’?
July 16, 2019

The clearing point is the point ahead of a stop signal up to which the track must be kept clear of obstructions in order for a train to be accepted from the rear of the signal. In most cases this is with reference to home or outer home signals guarding entrance to station limits from a block section. The distance from the stop signal to the

What is ‘isolation’?
July 16, 2019

Isolation refers to methods of protecting one line from the adjacent lines, e.g., in the case of loop lines that branch out from the main line at a station. A train or any rolling stock that is stopped on one of the lines while another train is moving through on the adjacent line should be prevented from moving and running over the points to the
