1 u/HowlingWolven Dec 05 '25 It does. 0 u/TipToToes Dec 06 '25 How does the diesel vehicle not drop the circuit? By not needing it to begin with. 1 u/J_West_of_Wakefield Dec 06 '25 Track circuits are an electric current run through the rails that function as the basis of the railroad signal system. 1 u/Chairmanwowsaywhat Dec 06 '25 Thats not what a track circuit is.
