1 Introduction to Interlocking

In railway signalling, an interlocking is an arrangement of signal apparatus that prevents

conflicting movements through an arrangement of tracks such as junctions or crossings.
The signalling appliances and tracks are sometimes collectively referred to as an
interlocking plant. An interlocking is designed so that it is impossible to display a signal
to proceed unless the route to be used is proven safe.
