To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And so the method is still further com- plicated by eliminating long stretches of tlie track circuit, but retaining it in the track near each signal station so that the signals will he automatically operated and controlled as before. ^ It should be noted that if a car was stand- ing on the siding and was moved toward the switch point by wind, or through malicious mis- chief or otherwise, as soon as it passed the foul- ing point the signal at A would automatically go to "stop" and the signal wou...ld stay locked until the track was cleared. A broken rail would have the same effect of locking the signal and would start an investigation to determine the trouble. 145. Automatic Systems. Some of the principal essentials of the automatic systems have already been described above. Some Fig. 146. RAILROAD ENGINEERING 173 of the diflferenees are as follows. The mechanical work to be per- formed by the electric current in the controlled manual system is limited to iinloc*king certain mechanisms or unlocking the signals so that by gravity they will assume the "stop" position.
