Dornbach station
Schematic track diagram
Dornbach station is on the single-track, non-electrified line Adorf - Feldberg - Grüntal - Dornbach - Zellwald.
View on the tracks
The station's track layout includes a continuous main track, a passing/crossing track in each direction, a service track and a siding (stub track).
Mechanical interlockings of the "Einheit" ("Unity") design serve as the guard interlocking and as the command interlocking. The interdependencies between the two interlockings are established by means of key buttons (consent request) and electrical station block (consent issuing/receiving, command issuing/receiving).
Main contents to be learned
- Operation of a mechanical interlocking
- Intensive cooperation between the traffic controller and the switchman is imperative, especially when shunting into the other interlocking area.
- Offering/accepting on single-track lines
