Railway signaling

Railway signaling is a system that manages train movements to ensure safety and efficiency. It uses signals—lights, symbols, or electronic displays—to communicate with train operators about track conditions, speed limits, and stop or go instructions. These signals are interconnected through a network that detects train positions and controls other signals, preventing collisions and managing train flow. Modern systems may include computerized controls and sensors, enhancing safety and allowing for more precise scheduling. Overall, signaling acts as the traffic control system for railways, coordinating train routes and movements seamlessly.
