Link Railway Signals to Control Train Traffic

Basic Signal Linking

Railway signals work by linking to the Create mod's base train signals. This connection tells your signal when to change color based on track occupancy ahead.

Steps:

1. Place a Create mod train signal on your track

2. Place your Create Realistic Railways signal nearby, facing the direction trains will approach

3. Hold a stick in your hand (do not use the wrench)

4. Right-click the Create base signal first

5. Right-click your railway signal to complete the link

Configuring 3-Aspect Signals

For 3-aspect signals that show green, yellow, and red:

1. Link the immediate track block first (the section directly ahead)

2. Link the following block second (the section after that)

This two-step configuration allows the signal to warn drivers of conditions further down the line, giving them time to slow down before reaching a red signal.

Tip: Use banner repeaters placed before your main signal to give drivers even earlier warnings on longer track sections.
