<p>[quote user="jeffhergert"]For a switch in signalled territory, it doesn't know the position of the points. [/quote]</p> <p>I thought the PTC mandate required to stop a train before it can operate over an improperly lined main track switch?</p> <p>Your quote shows something different or do I misunderstand something? It seems uneconomical to approach all switches at restricted speed.</p> <p>It shouldn't be impossible to include the switch orientation into PTC. In other countries it is mandatory.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
