Who controls the signals at West Layup?

• A. JCC
• B. MTA
• C. CSX
• D. Amtrak

Answer: (A)

Signals in a rail area are controlled by the designated signaling authority for that location, which is usually a central signal control center responsible for coordinating movements and interlockings. In the West Layup area, that responsibility lies with the Joint Control Center (JCC). The JCC runs the interlocking logic and signals to prevent conflicting movements, track occupancy issues, and to maintain safe train flow. Even though different operators like MTA, CSX, or Amtrak run trains on various parts of the network, the signals at a given yard or segment are controlled by the center that administers that specific area. So the West Layup signals are under JCC’s supervision to ensure consistent, safe operations there.
