Track ID Signs/en: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:17, 17 March 2025

Tracks with IDs are station tracks with unique addresses. These addresses allow them to be referred to in delivery orders , as well as to navigate to them with station maps .

Other than in books, track IDs are also shown on physical signs. Track ID signs are pole-mounted structures found on the right side of the respective tracks, on their both ends, designed to inform of their ID. Regardless of the signs' positions, however, the address spans the entire track from switch to switch.

If we take an ID example of "C-06S", the "C" here represents a particular yard in the station, identifiable using the station map . "06" indicates a specific track in that yard. "S" indicates the storage role of the given track. There are a few track roles:

I - Input

This is where freight haul deliveries arrive.

O - Output

This is where freight haul deliveries depart from.

S - Storage

This is where empty cars are stored for shunting and logistical haul deliveries.

L - Cargo Transfer

This is where cars are loaded and unloaded, using the cargo transfer machine .

LP - Passenger Transfer

This is a track with a platform where the passengers and mail get transferred from.

SP – Passenger Storage

This is where coaches and railcars are parked.

Tracks with IDs shouldn't be blocked with unexpected vehicles, because this could disrupt the proper delivery order generation.

-Some tracks have specific addresses, displayed by track ID signs on both ends of the track. This address indicates the location of the track and its purpose, for example "C-06S". "C" in this case represents a specific yard name this track belongs to, within a station. "06" indicates a specific track within that yard. These names facilitate navigating between tracks and can also be referred to from the schematic station map.
