What indicator governs movement into and out of end-of-line stations?
Correct Answer:
Terminal Indicator
Explanation:
Movement into and out of end-of-line stations is governed by the Terminal Indicator. This signal or status tells the system and the train crew that the movement is entering or leaving the terminal area, where special routing and switching must be coordinated to keep movements safe and orderly. It ensures proper interlocking, prevents conflicting routes, and manages reversal or turnback operations that are unique to terminal ends. The other terms are less specific: an Indication is a generic signal concept, a Green Band refers to a color-coded or speed-related cue on some equipment, and a Fouling Point is a physical location where track usage could compromise safety—none of these directly address controlling end-of-line movements like the Terminal Indicator does.
