Notes to the Main Window
The RgZm main window is devided into three parts. In the middle all main tracks of the station are listed, where trains arrive or leave. Each track is represented by a button, which is labeled by “insert” if the track is not occupied or with the train number and the time table times of these train. Right and left of the station tracks the tracks to the neighbor stations are displayed, where each of them is framed and labeled with the belonging neighbor name. Depending on station type several tracks are possible for each side. Each track itself has three fields. In the middle the actual track occupation. Left and right are the reservations of the adjacent stations for offered trains. The own appointment is always pointing towards the center side.
- One track:
- Appears as a purple bar for the one track.
- Two track:
- Appears as yellow and orange bar arranged one below the other for the two tracks. Because there can be no offering of a train in the rearward direction, in this field a direction arrow is displayed.
Special cases
- Block station / Junction:
- There is no middle area for the station main tracks. The trains will be reported by a track to the next. At junctions the behavoir is the same. Only there are more tracks at one side.
- Kopfbahnhof:
- At one side next to the station tracks, there are no tracks to neighbors. The main frame is devided into two parts only.
- Track alternating operation:
- Wenn eine zweigleisige Strecke für Gleiswechselbetrieb (Falschfahrbetrieb) vorgesehen ist, dann werden in der RgZm zwei eingleisige Strecken zur selben Nachbarbetriebsstelle angezeigt. Die Zugmeldung erfolgt wie auf eingleisigen Strecken (anbieten / annehmen).
