Each section is electrically isolated from others. It is not only used to detect the presence or absence of a train on a railroad track, but also used to inform signalmen and control relevant signals. The track circuit is fundamental to most of signaling system. There are many different arrangements of the track circuit used today, but they are alike in their basic principle of operation. ;Fundaments of D-C Track Circuits The simplest form of track circuit is an insulated section of track with a relay on one end and with a battery, or some other source of energy on the other end. ;It shows an elementary track circuit. It consist of the following: A source of energy—for example, a battery. A limiting resistance, called because it limits the current from the battery. Rails and rail bonding, both offering resistance. Ties and ballast, both offering a path for current leakage from rail. This path has resistance, referred to as “ballast resistance”. Relay series resistance (resistance placed in series with the relay). A track relay.;The arrows show the direction of current flow. Starting from positive post of the battery, the current flows through the limiting resistance, the one rail, the relay windings, the relay series resistance, and the other rail, then back to the neg
