Transmission of Status
Track circuit occupancy status, along with status of other signal and switch related devices, may be integrated with a local control panel as well as a remote rail control centre. If the track circuit contains a relay, it can be connected to a device for sending status information via a communications link. The status can then be displayed and stored for archival for purposes of incident investigation and operations-related analysis. Many signalling systems also have local event recorders for recording track circuit status.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
