NEW SIGNAL BOX AT VERSAILLES-CHANTIERS

LE NOUVEAU POSTE DE VERSAILLES-CHANTIERS

The section under the control of the new box described which was opened in January 1977, runs from Sevres Rive-Gauche to St-Quentin en Yvelines, both stations included, and covers 38 km. The box works the points and signals and controls traffic fully over this section of line. The actual line situation and position of trains is known at any moment by means of automatically operated display panels and cathode screens, the programming of the train servicer, and automatic route setting.
