Usage
Placement
Right-click a Train Track with a Train Signal while facing the direction Trains are intended to go, then place the signal within 15 blocks of the selected Track. An arrow will appear on the selected Track indicating which way Trains can pass it.
Two-way Tracks
Conductors will never cross a Train Signal from the opposite direction. Unlike other Railway Equipment, multiple Train Signals can select one track. A Train Signal can be made two-way by having two opposite facing Train Signals linked to the same place. Train Signals facing the same way on the same Track will be synchronized.
Track Segments
Train Signals divide the track network into segments. The segments can be viewed by holding a Signal while looking at the Track. Conductors will not enter a track segment occupied by another Train, regardless of how large the Train or the segment is.
In order to divide a Track into sections, each section must be separated either by a Train Signal or a lack of connected Tracks. A circular loop of Tracks requires two Train Signals to divide it, otherwise the Train Signals will have no effect. A straight track only needs one Train Signal to divide it into two. If a section was successfully defined, the line ahead of the Signal should become a different color. The color has no significance aside from serving to differentiate segments.
Chain Signal
Use a Wrench on the signal to activate chain mode. This mode will stop the train before the denoted segment if the segment ahead that the train is attempting to path to is occupied. Chain mode is useful at junction locations, where a train could potentially sit in the middle of a junction while waiting for the proceeding segment to become free.
Display
Nixie Tubes can be attached to make the signal more visible, as well as convey additional information.
- If the signal's segment is clear, the tube will glow white.
- If the signal's segment is occupied, the tube will glow red.
- If a signal is in chain mode and only some of the segments ahead are occupied, the tube turns yellow. The train can pass if the target segment ahead is not occupied.
Redstone
Signals give a Redstone Comparator signal while red. Signals can also be forced red by being activated with Redstone.
