Austrian Railway Signalling - Explained!

- čas přidán 20. 07. 2021
- An explanation of the main type of railway signalling used in the country of Austria. Most European countries have their own signalling systems, despite the large number of through-running trains - meaning many drivers would need to learn multiple systems. The Austrian system is very similar to the Swiss (and less so, German) system, but is a bit simpler. This video is made using still photographs I took in Austria in 2017.
Please note that I have made this video as a hobby only, and while every attempt has been made to provide correct information, I am not an expert and do not work for the railways. I also live on the other side of the world and only speak English, so there is a slight risk of some information lost in translation. This video is a general guide only, and does not attempt to explain every possible aspect, signal type or situation. Any corrections will be noted at the bottom of this description.
I have made several other videos on signalling systems from around the world, you can see the full list here: • Railway Signalling Exp...

Hello, good explanation, I have a few comments: Distant signal has a white frame on the screen: in this case, the train driver must expect that the next signal is a protection signal. A protection signal only exists at stations and only applies to train movements, but not to shunting unless there is a vertical bar in the middle. This signal can then also indicate shunting admitted.
If you drive at a speed other than 40 or 60 km/h in the area of the switches, this is not only displayed with a white number at the main signal, but also with a yellow number before it at the distant signal. If that speed is a tin sign, then that advance notice is displayed on a triangular sign. So it can happen that there is a speed indicator above the main signal, then the distant signal and below that a warning sign below the distant signal on a mast... These speeds only apply in the switch areas. ÖBB uses white square signs with a black number and a red frame to signal the maximum line speed, and if the speed is reduced by more than 15%, square signs with the same colors. Yellow, black-numbered, white-framed triangular signs announce temporary speed limits, starting with a yellow, white-edged, black-A rectangular sign and ending on a white sign with a black E. Complicated, isn't it?
But there is another signal that is visible on main signals if it cannot be set to clear: If the position of the points cannot be checked by the dispatcher, then instead of the white flashing light there is the caution signal with a red flashing light as a substitute signal, es allows the driver to pass the stop signal, but must then drive on sight.
There is also a small difference with the signal repeaters: the yellow signal repeaters must be confirmed with the PZB (train protection system that monitors whether the train driver has recognized the signal correctly and acts accordingly), if the signal repeater is white, then not...
Wow, very complete info! Thanks
These railway signal explained videos are great, 10/10!
I love your disclaimer! Having watched your video I felt I was ready to drive a train, but the disclaimer made me see that I should really get formal training. 🤣🤓
EXTREMELY clear!!!
Thank you very much!
😃
I love these signals explained videos! You should definitely make more.
I work in Spanish railways, if you need any info about our signals let me know
Thanks, will do!
White dot with Red Light PZB Befehl 40 should be used when the Signalman (UK Signaller) gives you the permission to go for those since they have 2000hz PZB Beeinflussung active
i totally love theese videos!! you should make a video about slovak or czech signals!
Your signalling videos are awesome! Where do you find all of this knowledge?
Thankyou! Partly learned through observation, with a lot of help from various websites- there are lots of super niche interest signalling websites out there!
I have heard about a wooden stick given to a train on a single rail railway. Only the train with the stick was allowed to use the railway. Not sure but possible not in Australia.
Can you do a video about signs?😊
