Blocks in DCC

Are both rails gapped in a block? I plan on using both power districts and blocks with the hope of adding signals in the future as well as for short management now. <br /> <br />I now have one power district, in the future this will be split into four. I know the rails are double gapped at the limits of a given power district, if I understand everything I have read, only one rail is gapped for a block. That rail is the rail the sub bus is wired to and in my case an 1156 tail light. If there is a short in any of the sub blocks, does that still shut down the parent power district, or does the light take the load, keeping the district up and running? <br /> <br />Thanks in advance <br /> <br />Mike in Tulsa <br />BNSF Cherokee Sub
