Train-routing display in Altstetten control center

  • The top part of this display shows at which stations the automatic train routing is activated.

  • The (separate) bottom part shows, for each train currently in the Altstetten control center's territory, the key track sections forseen in the automatic routing system that lie ahead but that the interlocking plant has not yet reserved for the train.

(Note that the order of the sections in the bottom half is not linked to that of the stations listed in the top half!)
