Which statement about Controlled Point (CP) is correct?

• A. A station designated in the Timetable where signals are remotely controlled from the control station.
• B. A yard track that can be signaled in both directions.
• C. A fixed signal that cannot be controlled.
• D. A crossing at grade.

Answer: (A)

Controlled Point is a location listed in the timetable where signals are operated from a central control station rather than locally. This remote control setup lets the dispatcher set routes and protect movements into and out of that point from one control location. The statement captures this exactly: a station in the timetable where signals are remotely controlled from the control station. The other descriptions describe things like a bidirectional yard track, a fixed signal that isn’t controllable, or a grade crossing, none of which involve remote signal control from the control station.
