VERSAILLES-CHANTIERS: FIRST FREE-LEVER SIGNAL BOX WITH WIDE RANGE OF ACTION

VERSAILLES-CHANTIERS: PREMIER PRS A GRAND RAYON D'ACTION

The Versailles-Chantiers free-lever signal box handles automatic control of routing, train identification, and regulates some 600 movements per day coming from or going to the suburbs served by Paris-Montparnasse station. When there are disruptions in the services, the movements displayed on the optical control panel and compared to the theoretical order of succession stored in the local computer can be coordinated by the signal box controller without action needing to be taken by the regional control centre.
