Santa Fe Deploys Centralized Traffic Control Across Rail Lines
The Santa Fe Railroad expands Centralized Traffic Control CTC from Canadian to Waynoka Oklahoma and toward Amarillo with operation in New Mexico and California. A dispatcher uses a three panel board and miniature track model to remotely control switches and signals over 520 miles of track, improving service and eliminating train orders. Red green and amber signals indicate train positions and switch status.

The
CTC Signal System Operates With Lever Control and Telephony
Two rows of levers manage switches and three-position levers handle signals at passing sidings ends. Normal and reverse switch positions show green and amber lights, center-signal stops show red. An operator uses auto unlocks, code-starting buttons, and field telephones to coordinate mainline work with a foreman, then resets all levers after task completion. An automatic train graph records train progress and dispatcher timing, and trains move per signal indications with safeguards for safety.
