Point and catch point indicators

Point indicators are used to indicate the position of points. Catch point indicators show the position of catch points.

Point indicators and catch point indicators may be:

  • colour light, or
  • mechanical.

If the indicator displays:

  • a red light, the points are not set
  • a white arrow, the points are set for the route indicated by the direction of the arrow.
