Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon Dec 2 10:59:10 2013, in response to Re: PHOTOS: MNR Derailment, posted by Train Dude on Sun Dec 1 22:29:50 2013. The LIRR system DOES control for speed.The speedometer is ringed with lamps for every 10 mph, and a lamp tells the train operator how fast he may travel He cannot exceed a change in indication without reacting to it, lest the train react to it for him. His indication DOES indicate what speed he may operate at, and the signal does change with changing track conditions. I have watched it do so. It does not indicate diverging tracks, but the reduction in speed will tell the engineer that there is something ahead, and he can see the wayside signals. ROAR |
