PSB

abbreviationStandard termRailroad

A power signal box that controls railway switches and signals electronically.

A power signal box is a centralized control center where switches and signals are operated by electrical or pneumatic power rather than manual levers. These facilities replaced older mechanical lever frames, allowing a single operator to manage a much larger territory of interlocking tracks.
