They don't say that this is an upper limit. The number should not _equal_ 256 (or 512, etc), but it can be larger or smaller than that.

- masklinn 10y ago> They don't say that this is an upper limit. It's not, but considering the context going above would mean going through the limit which would be dangerous, during exit the counter would mark a railroad section as unoccupied before underflowing back to occupied. It might also have interesting failure modes during entry.
