How does it work?
can be separated into three sections:
Announcement:
Components that detect the train, either manually using a switch or automatically using a treadle attached to running rail, and send the warning signal to the worksite.
Processing:
Devices that process the warning signal and count the number of approaching trains, forwarding the warning signal either via cable or radio.
Warning:
The warning units which alert trackworkers using lights and horns.
