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 detailed look at the Koblenz-Lützel panel here.
Signal Box Koblenz-Lützel
General
The signal box of Koblenz-Lützel is located along the electrified double-track main line 'Linke Rheinstrecke', line number 2630 from Cologne to Mainz between the stations of Weißenthurm and Koblenz Hbf.
Neighbouring Dispatching Areas
On the left bottom (tracks 22/33) we have the connecting tracks towards Koblenz Hbf, which is part of the dispatching area of Koblenz Hbf (KKO). These are called the Rhine tracks (Rheingleise). Another track also connects our signal box with Koblenz Hbf, which is track the so-called 'Oberstromgleis' 444. Only on that track bi-directional running (Gleiswechselbetrieb or GWB) towards and from Koblenz Hbf is possible.
On the top left (track 004/451) we have the track towards Koblenz-Mosel Gbf. Many freight trains to and from France or Luxembourg will pass over these tracks to either leave or join the Linke Rheinstrecke.
On the center bottom (tracks 971/974) we see the tracks towards Neuwied, the connecting line to the Rechte Rheinstrecke.
On the right bottom (tracks 002/412) the 'Linke Rheinstrecke' will leave our dispatching area to the North towards Weißenthurm. The station of Weißenthurm (KWEH) is the next controlled location in this direction. Bi-directional running towards and from Weißenthurm is possible.
