Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / trains | | German term or phrase: Zugfolgestelle | Auch bei diesem Betriebsprogramm wurden ausreichend Reserven einkalkuliert, um die Baustoffzuführung zu den Baustellen zu gewährleisten. Um das betrachtete Betriebsprogramm durchführen zu können, ist es jedoch notwendig die zukünftigen Kreuzungsbahnhöfe (in der Tabelle farbig hinterlegt) als Zugfolgestellen auszubilden. Damit ist in der 2. Ausbaustufe seitens der Sicherungstechnik nur noch die signaltechnische Erweiterung der Zugfolgestellen zu Bahnhöfen notwendig.
Even in this operating programme sufficient reserves were taken into account to guarantee the building material supply to the construction sites. To be able to carry out the operating programme considered, it is however necessary to design the future Kreuzungs railway stations (shown in the table in yellow) as Zugfolgestellen. Hence, only the signalling expansion of the Zugfolgestellen to railway stations is necessary in the second stage of expansion with respect to the safety technology. |

| | Zugfolge = train sequencing OR headway | Explanation:
For "Zugfolgestelle", the railway dictionary says: block post/intermediate train distancing point
Since we are taling about signalling systems here, it is clear that these are points on the line used to control the flow of traffic and maintain the distance (headway) between trains to stop them catching up with and running into each other.
Block post would work because signalling is based on the use of block sections. Every so often there is a post or marker (often marked by a panel)when you change section and therefore come into a different control area. Explaining railway signalling technology would take too long but....this is the bare bones
Your second sentence:
"This means that in the second phase of development, only extension of the signalling installations for maintaining train headway through to the stations still has to be done, as far as the signalling part of the process is concerned"

talKing - it seems I cannot get this word right today!
The translation of your second sentence is only rough, if only because I cannot see it as I am translating and have to dash something off from memory |
