There is described a track circuit for use with a track section which may or may not include a switch. The system detects the presence of a railroad vehicle within the track section as it constitutes a shunt across the track. The track section is divided into a plurality of segments with each segment having a common boundary with at least one other segment. Alternating current signals are induced into each track segment and a sensor is provided for sensing and responding to the induced a.c. signals. A modulator is provided for intermittently affecting the sensed signal and a detector is provided for detecting and responding to the changing signal. |
