Which term is a place at which manual block signals are displayed?

• A. Interlocking Station
• B. Block Station
• C. Passenger Station
• D. Station

Answer: (B)

In manual block signaling, the rail line is divided into blocks, each protected by its own signals. The place where those block signals are displayed and controlled for trains entering that block is called the block station. A signalman at the block station sets the signals based on track occupancy and the position of trains to keep trains safely spaced.

Interlocking stations, on the other hand, handle routing and protection across switches and signals to prevent conflicting moves, which isn’t where manual block signals are displayed. A passenger station or a generic station refers to passenger facilities, not signal display locations.
