Thanks for the info guys.

THe project brief our group has been given revolves around using the rails as a transmission line to send a signal down the line. When the signal hits the S/C (Train) it will reflect back to the source.

The idea is that we can then detect exactly where a train is within a section through monitoring the time taken for the reflected signal to be seen.

With this system we could also find out the speed of the trains and calculate time to enter next section etc....
