Centralized Traffic Control

Centralized Traffic Control• Centralized traffic control(CTC) is a form of

railway Signalling that originated in North America

• The system consists of a centralized train dispatcher's office that controls railroad switches in the CTC territory and the signals that railroad engineers must obey in order to keep the traffic moving safely and smoothly across the railroad.

• CTC systems are considered sufficient authority to run trains based strictly on signal indications. This is because CTC signals default to 'Stop' and require a human dispatcher to 'Clear' them.

Tappet & Locks System Room• Tappet Locking is a system used to prevent signals being pulled off

for conflicting routes. Each signal lever (or point lever, slot lever, etc, in the frame) moves a plunger (also known as driving iron) either directly attached to it or through a connecting mechanism.

Engine sheds• Railway engine sheds were provided at terminal stations, junctions, and other

locations around the railway. • They provided covered accommodation for servicing locomotives -this could be

simple tasks such as changing brake blocks to more complex task that involved dismantling and repairing the engine.

• Types of engine sheds are (i) Rectangular type (ii) Circular type
