Transmission of Status
Track circuit occupancy status, along with status of other signal and switch related devices, may be integrated with a local control panel as well as a remote rail control centre. If the track circuit contains a relay, it can be connected to a device for sending status information via a communications link. The status can then be displayed and stored for archival for purposes of incident investigation and operations-related analysis. Many signalling systems also have local event recorders for recording track circuit status.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
