An important difference to the routes is the following: Routes are mostly within an interlocking and especially in the relay interlocking often independent of the neighbouring interlockings. The line block, however, is almost always intended to connect two interlockings in their control systems. The purpose of the line block is to ensure that a moving train on the open line is not endangered by an oncoming or following train. The line block is thus intended to prevent a train from entering a section of track that is already under occupation of another train.
