[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] Not sure what is meant by "frozen signals" here. It used to be a real problem with semaphores, but think those are long gone from the Sunset Route. Tripped a detector is easy. At fairly regular intervals along most main lines ther are detectors adjacent to the rails to detect such things as hot bearings, etc. They usually have an automated voice that tells the train speed and defect location. If a defect is noted by the detector, the train must be stopped and a walking inspection made of the area when the defect is announced, usually by axle count from the rear of the train. [/QB][/QUOTE]
