ABSTRACT:
A railroad interlocking control system utilizing a plurality of programmable controllers to regulate flow of train traffic through an interlocking track layout in which a number of track routes converge and overlap into a bottleneck area. Control of switch and signal devices in the bottleneck area is shared by multiple programmable controllers which may reduce redundancy requirements of prior art arrangements.
