Single Mainline protection with ASB

[foulkn]

Been using ASB control for crossovers for a while, works great. I love it.

Started using it for single mainline protection and it works great for that too. But.....
I cannot do local switching maneuvers and return the way I came without locking up the system.
What I need it to be able to do is the trigger a train first hits sets the protection. ANY trigger
after that will shut off protection of that train. Main or Cross.

I have studied the code a little and see it keep the train ID's. That should make it easier to implement,
but having a little trouble following some of the script.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Ed.

There is a rule that might help you. Its called "Tracking Block Rule (Dynamic Safety Block)" and it might help you out. Ive used it in the past, and just remember that I should try it again.

Dl'ed and read the properties, but I am thinking that it keeps other trains from following into the block.
Does not sound like it stops trains from entering the other direction.
Not what I am trying to achieve. I normally want trains to follow each other into the Single Main Block.
Just trying to exit the block in any direction with a local.

Hi Ed --

We seem to be unsure about your question.

Is this what you mean:

I just did a simple test. And if you set up the rule, and each copy of it, it will prevent a train form entering the block in-front of you. Although a train can still come up behind you a few blocks back.
