Advantages and disadvantages of arranging the locomotive depot of section station in the third quadrant

Advantages and disadvantages of arranging the locomotive depot in the third quadrant of the section station. On the double-track horizontal station, the locomotive depot is generally located in the third quadrant, which is most beneficial to the right side. When set in the third quadrant, the locomotive access section in one direction intersects with the train departure route in the other direction; If the locomotive depot is located in the fourth quadrant, the locomotive entry and exit section in one direction intersects with the train arrival and departure route in the other direction. Compared with the nature of departure intersection and arrival intersection, its driving speed, occupied route length and the degree of safety affecting driving are obviously more serious. Therefore, the locomotive depot should be located in the third quadrant.
