[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by smalling_60626 Once again, I'm confused: is a track warrant just a new name for written orders, or is it some entirely different form of communication with a different--though similar--purpose? Can track warrants be used outside CTC areas and if so, does their use in ABS areas differ? Is it to be assumed that all loco's now have radio too? [/quote] Firstly, in CTC, signals control train movements safely and efficiently, so there is no need for track warrants. The only difference between TWC in signalled and dark territory is that in signalled territory, two trains can follow each other within the same limits, because the signals keep them at a safe distance. A Track Warrant is different from a Train Order in that Track Warrants are the principal means of movement control on their lines. TO's on the other hand were only used when a change was needed to the timetable because something went wrong (derailment, late train, so forth). Sincerely, Daniel Parks
