Title: Development of Effective Schemes for Junctions on Single-Track Line Sections
Abstract: Single-track mainline railway tracks with parallel location of station tracks provided quick preparation of train routes with manual control of switches. However, this system required complete stopping of both freight trains, especially if they were simultaneously received at a separate station from two directions at once. Additional installations of freight trains reduced the throughput capacity of the branch lines with a parallel track arrangement. With the development of interlocking and signalization in the new conditions of technical progress, it became possible to design extended passing-tracks with a longitudinal arrangement of the receiving-and-departure tracks. This measure ensures reduction of time and energy required for train stoppages on the way under crossing on the single-track railway line sections. In this case, the throughput capacity of the sections for single-track lines increases. For the conditions of non-uniformity in traffic, parallel track layouts have higher costs associated with acceleration and deceleration of both freight trains at once. In the case of nonuniformity, the best conditions are created in the case of simultaneous reception of freight trains from two directions at once for longitudinally located tracks.
