In real life, grade-separated railway junctions are not as common as junctions for road vehicles, mostly because of the larger curve radii and slopes that are notably less steep (for example, the steepest slope of the Schwarzwaldbahn in Baden, which has an altitude between 384m and 832m, is only 2\%). As an exercise, you can try to make the T junction grade-separated. \subsubsection{Track capacity and deadlock}\label{s:ilcapacity} You can not infinitely add trains to a line. If you do, you will end up with a deadlock, where every train is stuck at a red light, waiting for the previous train to clear the track section ahead, while the previous train is also stuck at a red light, waiting for the train ahead of it to leave the section ahead, and so on: |
