Treadles play a crucial role in maintaining the overall safety and efficiency of railway operations worldwide.
Treadles are strategically placed along the railway tracks to detect the presence of trains and facilitate safe operations.
Proper maintenance of treadles is essential to avoid signal malfunctions and ensure the accurate detection of trains.
When a train passes over a treadle, it sends a signal to the control center, informing them of the train's location and direction.
Railroad engineers rely on treadles to automate certain signaling processes, ensuring efficient traffic management.
