orange cable

Ask a real train driver or fireman questions about how engines work, railways operate or anything else. If we do not know the answer, we will find out!

orange cable

Post by Dylan Knott »

Anyone know what the orange cable / piping is for at a station?

Loads of this has been dropped off at Somerset West station (Metro rail and formerly semaphore signals) and not sure what they are for. New sets of points are being installed here as station had no loops connected since 2003.
