How interlocking system ensures safety in rail operations

IndiaTimes Monday, 5 June 2023
In case of trains, it’s not the loco pilots who decide the track on which a train runs. It is controlled and fixed by the cabin station master on a panel, connected electronically and mechanically with tracks. The signals given out from the cabin guide the loco pilots for train movement. An ‘interlocking system’ refers to a safety mechanism which ensures safe and efficient operation of train movements at junctions, stations and signalling points.
