Markings; their colors and their functions

Verwendung

Markings

Stop markings, brake markings, speed markings

Since there was discussion and some confusion about the meaning of the colors of markings, Mr. Freiwald summarized the most important information below:

Fig: Stopping process

• Red stop markings indicate the places in a block where trains stop - when they have to stop in that block.
• Yellow brake markings indicate the places in a block where trains that have to stop in that block start to brake.

Fig: Speed ​​​​marking green

• Green speed markings indicate the locations in a block where trains begin to reduce their speed to the speed applicable in the following sections of track (blocks or routes) - provided that a lower speed applies in the following sections of track.

Action markers

Gray action markers are used to perform only operations without the effect of red, yellow or green markers described above.

• More information about the action markers on a separate page in the TC wiki: Action marker

Perform operations

All markers can perform operations.

Order of execution

• If there is no green marking in a block, the first yellow marking switched on by a passing train acts like a green marking.
• If there is no yellow marking in a block, the first red marking switched on by a passing train acts like a yellow marking.
• If there is no red marking in a block, the first detector (contact detector, signalman or marker) switched on by a passing train acts like a red marking.
