      <title>USE OF VIBRATING BLADES OR PITCH CONTROLLERS FOR SIGNALLING PURPOSES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/87229</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Electric circuits in lines used for signalling purposes should be highly available and ensure safe transmission of information.  To achieve these ends, the SNCF uses vibrating blades, pitch controllers and filters for making the transmitters and receivers for these circuits.]]></description>

      <title>RAILROAD ACCIDENT REPORT, SIDE COLLISION OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY TRAINS NOS. 1 AND 152, SPENCER, NORTH CAROLINA, OCTOBER 8, 1977</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/75592</link>
      <description><![CDATA[About 2:53 a.m. on October 8, 1977, Southern Railway Company train No. 1, The Crescent, entered a crossover from the main track into the Spencer Yard at Spencer, North Carolina, and sideswiped freight cars which were being assembled as train No. 152 on an adjacent yard track. Four locomotive units and five cars of The Crescent and seven cars of train No. 152 were derailed. Twenty-six persons received minor injuries, and damage was estimated to be $250,000. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the switch circuit controller to cause a red aspect to be displayed at the entrance to the signal block.]]></description>

      <title>SIGNALLING...WITHOUT POLE LINES?</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/71866</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As microwave eliminates pole lines, railroad signal departments are confronted with alternatives to their control circuits formerly carried on poles along with communications circuits.  Alternatives include buried cable, coded track circuits and audio frequency track circuits. Outside factors may dictate that all, or combinations of any two of these, may have to be utilized for specific applications.  The problem as applied to a specific track segment was the subject of a panel discussion at the AAR Communication and Signal Section meeting in 1977.]]></description>

      <title>COORDINATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS WITH RAILROAD GRADE CROSSING PROTECTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/66440</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Preemption sequences for various geometric conditions are presented in figures, and criteria for adequate grade crossing preemption and coordination are listed.  The preemption sequences illustrated here cover signalized intersection of 4-lane undivided roadways - 2 phase operation; signalized intersection of 4-lane undivided roadways with railroad bisecting intersection - 2 phase operation; signalized intersection of 2-lane roadways with railroad bisecting intersection - 2 phase operation; and signalized intersection of 2-lane roadways with a railroad crossing on two approaches - 2 phase operation. The recommendations presented here were developed after evaluation of information from a literature review and from contracts with engineers from states, counties, and major cities.]]></description>

      <title>ELECTRICAL NOISE: GET IT OUT OF THE SIGNAL PLANT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/39250</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The growing use of delicate, sensitive and sophisticated interference-susceptible electronic apparatus in signal and communications applications has produced operating and maintenance problems. The inherently low power and voltage levels prevailing in communications installations have forced communications engineers to develop methods for solving the problem. This article discusses primarily problems and solutions for phenomena such as false operation of computer-controlled devices, erroneous indications and spurious occurences of other types in signal systems.]]></description>
