Hi,
Thank you all for your comments. It is very useful.
There was some doubt regarding clearance points and providing signal between two running lines. Now it is clear.
I agree that driver will not be able to see 306 PL (about 400m away!) and the option of having less controlled signalling here.
But ( just curiosity) can you suggest a way to (controlled) signal train movement after run round into siding?
Is option of providing another GPL near 1111B is suitable?
What are those risks that you want us to focus ?
"Propelling a long freight train always has its risks; when the signals are GPLs and there is a set of gates that need to be opened from being across the line and handpoints involved,if not careful it is an accident waiting to happen!"
I'm new in this field. Apologies if I asked some thing obvious .
Thanks
Prabhakar
