I wonder how they managed to tell trains to stop.
- sc11 3mo agoSignalling still works, so you can let the trains continue to a safe place like a station and then not let them leave until the radio issue is resolved
- PLenz 3mo agoThat depends, cab signaling for example needs radio to work
- LargoLasskhyfv 3mo agoNot necessarily, at least for some time: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linienförmige_Zugbeeinflussung https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linienförmige_Zugbeeinflussung
- Glawen 3mo agoDeutsche Bahn trains stop themselves all the time, no need to tell them
- lxgr 3mo agoStop signals. For legacy train control systems, these still work visually and via wires. ETCS (starting with Level 2) does use GSM-R, but everything is fail-safe: No active communication, no movement authority, so the "virtual signal" display in the cab will pretty quickly also show "stop".
