Dispatching in Kleinstadt

Page is under construction. Information is subject to change.

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.

Don't panic! Make sure you're in a comfortable chair and immerse yourself in your responsibilities as a Train Dispatcher!

Signal Box Kleinstadt

Signal box Kleinstadt

General

The signal box of Kleinstadt is located along a electrified double-track main line. In Kleinstadt we also have the start of the non-electrified branch line towards the town of Celle.

Neighbouring Dispatching Areas

At the upper left (tracks 10/11) we have the connecting tracks towards the dispatching area of Erle. Bi-directional running (Gleiswechselbetrieb or GWB) towards and from Erle is possible.

On the upper right (tracks 24/25) the main line leaves our dispatching area towards Dortstadt. Bi-directional running towards and from Dortheim is not forseen on this part of the main line.

At bottom right side th branch line connects to the dispatching are of Celle. As this is a single track line we have to offer each train to the dispatcher of Celle before sending it to there. He will do the same when he wants to send us a train.
