CTC Software
Friends signaled track is monitored by computer software running
in the Central Station Signal Tower.
This software communicates with the circuitry in the field via a radio
link to monitor the movement of trains,
identify problems, and to provide diagnostic information.
Status from the system is automatically uploaded to this website
as conditions change.

Modelboard
The state of the system is displayed by the software in a manner
similar to prototype CTC systems. The representation of the track
and signals is called a modelboard. The below link is a real-time
snapshot from the CTC software. The page is updated whenever train activity
is detected, or every 10 minutes when the system is idle.
