IR’S DAILY TRANSPORT OUTPUT
17 Million Passengers
2 Million Tonnes freight loading
8800 Passenger trains
5900 Freight trains
Thus, IR's trains cover the round-trip distance between earth and moon, four times a day !

To err is human…
To safeguard against that is

Operating rail traffic, safely, speedily and economically.
Increasing line capacity. Providing systems on safe principles. Preventing conflicting movements of trains. Ensuring adequate interval of space between
following trains or those which can cross or approach each other’s path.
SIGNALLING
Signalling is a device by which the movement of the train is controlled

CLASSIFICATION OF SIGNALS
Warning signals
They provide a pre-hand warning to the driver about the controlling signals ahead. These only enhance the efficiency and provide a further safety caution.

STOP SIGNAL
• The normal position of the signal is horizontal & it can be lowered at an angle of 45o to 60o with horizontal by pulling the wire from the signal cabin. In the horizontal position, the signal indicates the “danger stop” & it is said “on position”. When the arm is in inclined position it indicates “clear-proceed” & is said in “off-position”.
• In the night, the light of the lamp passing through the spectacles gives signals. Thus red light indicates danger and green light indicates clear.

STOP SIGNAL
The length and width of arm vary from
120-167 cm and 23-35 cm respectivelyThe outer end of the arm is about 2.45 cm
Broader than that of the hinged end
It is placed on the left hand side of the direction of movement of train
The side of the arm facing the driver is painted red with white band near the end
The other side is painted white with black bands
7.67 m

WARNER SIGNAL
These signals are similar to stop signals with the exception that at their free end V notch is cut to distinguish it from stop signals
Signals placed ahead of the stop signals to warn the driver before entering the station
Warner signals are placed generally at about 540 m away from the stop signals
SIGNAL INDICATIONS
Inclined Position: Track is clear and driver can proceed with confidence
Horizontal Position: Deriver can take his train upto Stop signal cautiously
![Page 16: Railway Signalling by Aditi Shah](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020711/54bd65a84a79593e428b45d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SEMAPHORE AND WARNER SIGNAL
Semaphore and Warner Signals can be placed on same the pole. Semaphore is placed on top and the Warner at about 2 m below itSIGNAL INDICATIONS
Both in Horizontal Position: Neither approaching section nor next block is clear
When Semaphore is inclined and Warner Horizontal proceed with precaution i.e. section up to station is clear but not the block beyond.Both in Inclined Position:Track is clear and proceed with confidence

DISC SIGNAL
These are shunting signals which are used for low speedmovements during shunting operations. They consist of circular discs with red bands on white background
SIGNAL INDICATIONS
When Red band is Horizontal: Stop
When Red band is Inclined: Proceed

COLORED LIGHT SIGNALS
These are automatic signals & give indications by electric lights both during the day as well as in night.The signals are provided with green, yellow and red light.
These signals are provided with special lenses & hoods to emit beam of light which can be visible from a long distance even during the day.

OUTER SIGNAL
This is Warner signal for the driver which gives the indication of the position ahead whether the platform is clear or not.
A certain distance is required to bring a moving train to halt. This distance depends upon the speed of the train, its weight, brake power of the locomotive etc.
Thus the first signal is provided at this distance beyond the station limit, that is why it is know as outer signal
![Page 21: Railway Signalling by Aditi Shah](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020711/54bd65a84a79593e428b45d0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

In the inclined or proceed position it indicates that track and platform is clear and proceed normally without any danger.
In horizontal or stop position it indicates that the driver must bring his train to halt within 90 m before outer signal and than proceed to the home signal with caution

HOME SIGNAL
After the outer signal towards station is a stop signal and exactly placed at the station limit is called home or stop signal. Its main function is to protect the stations. The permission to enter the platform is given by the operation of this signal. The maximum unprotected distance between the signal and the point, it is intended to protect is specified as 180 m due to its location at the door of station, it is called home signal.

STARTER SIGNAL
This signal is provided at the forward end of platform and controls the movement of the train as they leave the station. It gives permission to the train to leave the platform for next station. No train can leave the platform unless this signal is lowered, that is why it is called starter signal. A separate signal is provided for each line.

ADVANCE STARTER SIGNAL
The limit of a station section lies between the home signal and the advance starter signal. The signal which allows the train to enter in block section is called advance starter signal. It is always placed beyond the outer most set of the point connections.

ROUTING SIGNAL
When many branch lines diverge in different directions from the main line, it is very difficult to provide individual signal for each line at the divergent point.In such situations various signals for main line and branch lines are fixed on the same vertical post. These signals are called routing signal. Generally signal for main line is kept higher than those for branch lines
![Page 27: Railway Signalling by Aditi Shah](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020711/54bd65a84a79593e428b45d0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
REPEATING SIGNAL
When the view of the main signal is obstructed due to some structures or on curves etc. some signals are used to repeat the information of the main signal. Such signal are know as repeating signal.
![Page 28: Railway Signalling by Aditi Shah](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020711/54bd65a84a79593e428b45d0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
CALLING ON SIGNAL
These signal are similar to semaphore signal, but they are smaller in size and are fixed on the same post below the main signals. A calling on signal permits a train to proceed with caution after the train has been brought to a halt by the main signal. These are helpful when repair works are going on.
