CBTC systems, interlockings, relay logic, and signal design, taught by a working NYC subway signal engineer. Not retired consultants. Not academics. The real thing.
The building blocks every signal engineer needs. How track circuits detect trains, how switch machines move points, and how relays govern the logic that keeps everything safe.
Moving block, zone controllers, vehicle onboard systems, and radio-based communication. How modern transit systems achieve higher capacity and automation with real-world deployment case studies.
Practical signal logic design, relay diagrams, circuit schematics, and the engineering problem-solving skills you need for the FE exam and real project work.
Signal logic diagram templates, relay practice worksheets, CBTC architecture diagrams, and the study materials that working engineers actually use. Built from real project experience.
TrackSignal is led by a signal design engineer who works on NYC subway systems at L.K. Comstock National Transit. Circuit design, relay logic, and CBTC architectures are not abstract concepts here. They're Tuesday.
With a master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from NYIT, IEEE presentations on CBTC, and daily hands-on work designing signal circuits for one of the world's largest transit systems, this is practitioner-led training with real engineering depth.

Railway signaling is one of the most critical and least understood disciplines in transit engineering. TrackSignal exists to close that gap, one engineer at a time, with training built from real project experience on real subway systems.
