I NEED Help blocking signals????

[CSXrules4eva]

I'm having trouble understanding what blocking signals are. The only thing I know about blocks is what an absolute block - if a train is useing the block track another train can't approch the block track until the occupyiing train leaves. Am I correct here?? Please tell me.[:D] Inquireing minds want to know[?][%-)]

block signals are a signal that goveren the movement of a train on that segment of track (the block) an absolut signal dose not mean that only one train can go into that block...what an absolut signal is...is a controll point of some kind...either an interlocking...a juction... or where tracks converge...deverg..or cross over.... the signal at a CP is an absolut signal..meaning that the most restrictive indication you are going to get is STOP!!! not a restrcied proseed...your getting signal rules and DTC (dark territory ) rules on csx confused....in DTC territory...you get a block... dispatchers permistion to occupy a segment of track from the starting point to the end point of the block...with an abusolut block DTC authority.... only 1 train is alowed in that block at one time...

'Protect, THEN authorize' is the sainted chant of every trainer of new Dispatchers...and sometimes it even gets through.
