rock slide detectors

[NW Mailing List]

The ones I have seen had a big plug and socket system and when the spring loaded fence was pulled far enough with some rocks etc it pulled the "plug" and then shunted the curcuit to red.

 

I have a few slide fences on my layout using plumber cloth ( a slightly larger holed sceen) soldered/ and or glue to some rail stock. It is easy to find out the height which is about 36' or so as old rail was used (39') length with the rest in the gound in concrete to support..

Were the rock slide detectors tied into the signal system?  In other words, if a rock slide detector in a block were activated, would this cause the signals for that block to go to stop (or any other aspect for that matter)?
