Railway Track Signals RTS

Railway Track Signals (RTS)

The Railway Track Signal (RTS) is a vital safety device used during track possessions to protect worksites from unauthorised train movements. Placed directly on the rail, the RTS produces a loud explosive sound when run over by a train, providing an immediate audible warning to train drivers.

For locomotives equipped with detonator detection systems, the explosion automatically initiates emergency braking, offering an added layer of protection. Essential for Protection Officers, the RTS is a critical final safeguard during possession setup—especially in remote or high-risk environments.

Sound the alarm. Trigger the stop. Protect the track.
