    Double crossover control

    Double track main and Walther's double cross over

    Hi new to the forum and searched but didn't find an answer. I have a double track main line with a Walther's double crossover. I planned to have each main in a separate power district. To my surprise when I wired up the first district (the inside main) I found that the outside main was also...
