At the risk of sounding like a paranoid republican, I have to ask why you would want to know so much about RR signaling systems. Sure, when I was a kid, we used to get a kick out out of laying a piece of stray metal across the rails to make the crossing flashers turn on. This sounds more like a question as to how to "fool" the CTC and cause a wreck. <br /> I must ask of all knowlegable members of this forum to NOT! Give any details on the "net" concerning the signaling, operations, or otherwise to an unknown party. <br /> Remember, a train can have devestating consequences as well, given the terrorist factor.... <br /> Imagine a 15,000 ton train with hazardous chemicals making up half the consist, if this were sabotoged some way, It could very well be worse than a "Chemical / Nuclear bomb". <br /> We, as railfans, need to be just as vigilant as the railroads themselves, when it comes to security. <br /> I wouldn't give out too many details on the inner workings of the RR's in such a public forum.... <br /> <br /> Just my 2cents worth..... <br /> Todd Cline.
