Optional Signal Connections

This switch provides control for a station when the "DC Brake Generator™" is set for automatic:

This switch uses a unique control scheme and is designed for a station where two lines enter a station and then merge to one line as they depart.

	If the Station is vacant, the first train to enter the station on either line will be stopped using CV4 and held to "meet" another train. (This switch is designed assuming that a second train will arrive on the adjacent line!)
	When a second train enters the adjacent line it will be stopped and the first train will depart the station to the main line using the acceleration value CV3.
	When the first train is clear of the next forward block the second train will be released to the main line using acceleration value CV3.

In any case the trains in that the station can be sent new commands for speed changes, lights, sound etc.. If a BitSwitch has stopped an engine, the new command will not be activated until the train is released
