	Before you get your approval to run the service on a signal box, you need to find out about the local characteristics. After training as a general trainee signalman, dispatchers were always paired with a person skilled in the signal box. This chapter is the brief introduction to the area. Read it carefully. It contains very important information.		Before you get your approval to run the service on a signal box, you need to find out about the local characteristics.

Before you get your approval to run the service on a signal box, you need to find out about the local characteristics. After training as a general trainee signalman, dispatchers were always paired with a person skilled in the signal box. This chapter is the brief introduction to the area. Read it carefully. It contains very important information.

The text is "peer to peer" written as if you are in the signal box, the first day after training.

Have a more [http://www.signalsimulation.com/zoom/roisdorf/ detailed look at the Sechtem panel] here.

==Signal Box Sechtem==

===General===
The signal box of Sechtem is located along the electrified double-track main line 'Linke Rheinstrecke', line number 2630 from Cologne to Mainz between the stations of Roisdorf and Brühl.

===Neighbouring Dispatching Areas ===

On the top right (track 922/902) are the connecting tracks towards the dispatching area of [[Dispatching in Bonn|Bonn Hbf]] (KB). Wrong line operation (''Gleiswechselbetrieb'' or ''GWB'') towards and from Bonn Hbf is possible.

On the top left (track 041/042) the 'Linke Rheinstrecke' will leave our dispatching area to the North towards Sechtem. The station of Sechtem (KSEC) is the next controlled location in this direction. Wrong line operation towards and from Sechtem is also possible here.

===Sechtem===

[[File:pb_ksec_sechtem.png|800px|thumb|none|Sechtem]]

Normally we have Sechtem running in Sellbstbetrieb (auto fleeting) as all traffic goes via track 1 for trains from Brühl towards Roisdorf (and onwards to Bonn Hbf), and via track 2 for traffic from Roisdorf towards Brühl (and onwards to Köln).

The SE 3500 and RB 7300 series are the only services which stop in Sechtem.

On the line towards Bonn Hbf we have two level crossings (km 26.540 and km 27.385) with full barriers. If a route has been set and the barriers have closed, we need to confirm that the level crossing is free of other traffic. You will hear a bell ringing as long as the barriers are closing. Secure the level crossing with the BüFT group button and the yellow dotted button of the level crossing. (* this is an expert option)

There is a little siding next to the station of Roisdorf. This siding can be accessed via the so-called ''Schlüsselsperre'' (key locked switch 9).
There are not that many trains going or leaving from there. Anyway, the switch is operated by the shunter. You can give him control over the switch by pressing [[Throw Switch Button|WGT]] together with the switch button (SWT) of the ''Schlüsselsperre''. The ''key lock'' symbol will be flashing red. Once he has taken over control, the ''key lock'' symbol will be lit red, you will not be able to set routes into track 3 (??).
Once the shunter has finished his work, he should call you and give control back to you. The ''key lock'' symbol will be flashing red again. To finally revoke the permission for local control, you press the [[Lock Switch Button|WSpT]] together with the switch button.

===Bi-directional running (GWB)===

Bi-directional running, in German called ''Gleiswechselbetrieb'' (GWB), is actually left hand running instead of the usual right hand running on the open line. The infrastructure is equipped with automatic block(s) which can be used into both directions. GWB is possible between both Brühl and Sechtem, as well as between Sechtem and Roisdorf .
However, ''GWB'' has its limitations because from the ''GWB'' cannot be reached from all tracks, and not tracks can be reached from ''GWB''.

The following tracks can not be accessed from within ''GWB'':
* Towards the north <--
** none
* Towards the south -->
** Roisdorf track 1

Exit routes from tracks into GWB are not possible for:
* Towards the north <--
** none
* Towards the south -->
** Roisdorf track 1

We have [[Direction Button|direction controls]] on the open lines towards the neighbouring areas.
This means that you need to use the [[Direction Button|EaGT]] button to set the direction of the automatic blocks towards you.
Of course, you must offer a train to Roisdorf or Brühl prior to sending trains into ''GWB''.
