Just joined... someone tell me how to post my own question? I like this one as it comes close to my own interest... I'm an ex-British Rail Signalman (Tower man)... I model US RR 'cos UK enthusiasts get too serious... also teaches me lots about USA. Our operating systems are pretty standardised... my research so far suggests US varies quite a bit. <br />In answer to this question... <br />I think that the same applies in the US as here... you get more installation for more traffic. The key is not how fast trains go but how long it takes them to stop and do things. One train a day doing 6mph doesn't need a whole lot...twenty plus trains and a linespeed of 70mph and you don't want to be pulling things up to tell them waht to do or for them to ask. <br />Anybody know any good books on Interlocking???
