If you are fond of traveling by train or you have to make such journeys often, then you must have noticed that the train stops at the outer before reaching the station. During this time, many passengers appear irritated but they have no idea why this happens? If the train reaches on time then why is it stopped?
Today we are talking about stopping the train at Outer and its reason. On the online platform Quora, people have asked the question – Why is the train stopped at the outer? The train is reaching the station on time and is stopped at the outer some distance before. After all, what kind of rule has been made?
What are outer signals?
People have given different types of answers regarding this. At a station where there are 2 aspect signals, if the train has to be stopped before bringing it to the platform, it is first stopped at the outer signal. The first stop sign is there before the train arrives at the station. It is built at a reasonable distance from the station. If outer signal is not present then the train is stopped at home signal. The outer signal is also given a considerable distance from the home signal, so that if the train needs to be stopped somewhere before home, it can be stopped easily. This area is called block overlap.
Why does the car stop at the outer?
Railway experts say that now very few stations are left where outer signals were installed earlier. Now if the trains stop first, it is for the simple reason that if there is already a train on the train platform where it has to reach, then it is stopped. This is the reason why even though the speed of the train is good, it is stopped in the outer area waiting for the platform. Unless the train in front moves away, the other train does not receive the signal.
