Cosdale Harbour Signal Box

The Cosdale Harbour Signal Box is one of the boxes with the highest XP requirements ingame, and houses around 18 Stop Semaphore Signals, 2 Distant Semaphore Signals, 12 shunt signals and 8 switches that control the Cosdale Harbour station, the sidings, and the harbour area. Due to its small size and the fact that the line is mainly single tracked, it is extremely easy to cause gridlocking.

The box will usually sees spawning traffic from the Cosdale Harbour Sidings and occasionally from Dovedale Central and Satus Services.

This box was supposed to be a signal box for Satus Locomotive Services (SLS), until SLS ended its operations.

Charts for the Signal Box can be found on the Charts page.

Operation

The DE Signal recieves traffic from the single tracked line to Satus Services or Cosdale Harbour, and also operates a double tracked line to Dovedale Central. Both lines uses the Tokenless Block System (TLB), and you need to contact the signaller the headcode via the telephone
