Links to Signalling Pages

The links

• James Sterbenz maintains a fact silo detailling different types of signals around the world. There's lots of interesting information in there, but I think it is most helpful when one already knows the aspects of the particular signalling system. Thus, I'll only refer directly to it when I do not know any more immediately accessible resources on the Web.

• Austrian signalling
  • Roland Smiderkal has a nice Austrian site.
• Canadian, North American signalling
• Belgian signalling: see Sterbenz.
• British signalling
  • Clive Feather's British Railway Signalling
• Danish signalling
  • Some people think that this old page by Henning Makholm is a nice introduction, but he himself thinks that ...
  • Carsten Lundsten's page is better in most respects.
  • Henrik Karlsson, besides maintaining a part of Carsten's guide, also has a signal encyclopedia in Danish.
• Dutch signalling
  • Maarten Deen's page.
  • Henk Bartels's page is more comprehensive but in Dutch!
• French signalling
  • French signalling by Thierry Davroux (in French).
  • - or by Jean Michel (also in French. Sigh).i
  • and for those of us who don't know French: see Sterbenz.
• German signalling
  • www.stellwerke.de by Holger Metschulat is very comprehensive, but mostly in German.
  • Wolfgang Meyenberg has a page in English. At first it feels a bit brief, but that is just because it manages to tell most of the standard stuff without confusing the reader. A remarkable feat.
• Hungarian signalling
  • a page by someone anonymous.
• Indian signalling
  • By Satish Pai
• Italian signalling
  • A short aspect guide
  • A more comprehensive site
• North American signalling
  • Carsten Lundsten's general NA pages.
  • Mark D. Bej has a large collection of assorted stuff.
  • The NYC Subway Resources includes a signalling section
• Polish signalling
  • Polish signalling by Jerry D. Stawarz
• Portugese signalling
  • Portugese signalling by Hugo Leandro.
• Romanian signalling
  • by Nick Sandru
• Spanish signalling
  • There is a page in Spanish by Yago Lopez
  • also see Sterbenz
• Swedish signalling
  • by Krister Johannesson
  • Per Forsström maintains a very comprehensive signalling page, but be warned: it's in Swedish. Per Blomgren has a useful companion site which describes fixed marks.
• Swiss signalling
  • by Roland Smiderkal.

Editorial policy

It is not meant to be comprehensive in the sense that I'm going to list dozens of sites telling essentially the same. Where there are multiple sites covering the same signalling system I reserve the right to select which of them I recommend.

I try to avoid listing sites that only provide general introduction to signalling concepts without describing actual aspects. Also, I focus on contemporary signalling.
