BNSF Brush Subdivision - A Real-Time Dispatcher Type Display

Legend

• A white control point name indicates no data has been received going to or from the control point.
• A red control point name indicates that data has been received going from the control point to the dispatcher. A red line is a train occupying a block or blocks.
• A white line is a track that has not been cleared by the disptcher, or a section of track where a train has knocked down the green clear signal, but is not occupying that block as of yet.
• A green line is a track that has been cleared green by the dispatcher.

NOTE:This layout can be highly intermittent. Hudson is the closest point to my location and is about 30 miles away, with Brush being about 80 miles away. Signals are weak to start with, and can vary depending on the weather and time of night or day. At times you can see lots of red and blue control points and get a really good idea of what's going on with the railroad. Other times most of the control points may be white, and it may be nearly impossible to tell what is happening. Sometimes the decoder misses the data packet telling a signal to change, a switch to line, or that a train has entered or left a block. In those cases, you'll just have to wait for the control point to "time out" (about 18 minutes) to see any change.

And BTW, most of the sidings on the Brush Sub are "unbonded" from the mainline signal system. This means when a train goes into a siding and is between the switches, it disappears from the display...only to reappear again when it leaves the siding.
