The IND was originally designed so that if your track was out, there was another one next to you that you'd go over to, going int he same direction. That's why I didn't expect to see reverse signalling there anyway. That alone should have been a clue if you knew your territory.There ARE some sections though that do have some reverse signalling, and it's common on two track lines as well. And no, when ther isn't provision for reverse signalling, the tripper on the other end of the track is going to drive down just because your train is on the circuit. Trip goes up once your train LEAVES the circuit in the normal flow, that's how we were able to key by and close in on our leaders back in the days before they took away keying by after some fool hit his leader more than once. But no, on a single direction track, you don't GO the wrong way so there would have been no trips at all. That's why this episode here is so serious. Had that train she was headed for been around a curve, even though it was held behind a red, she could have done a head-on had she not seen the headlights. :( |
