Full description
The Signalling Branch was responsible for the construction, maintenance and repair of signalling equipment, telegraphs and telephones throughout the New South Wales rail network. Interlocking referred to the mechanical process of resetting railway tracks from a central control point allowing locomotives to follow branch lines, pass through junction points, use crossing loops or detour onto spur lines. Work was also carried out on level crossings. The branch ceased to operate when it took on the additional responsibility of telegraph and telephone equipment.User Contributed Tags
