<td>'''Enhanced Interlocking Towers (EITs)''' are included in the '''SAR Peterborough Base Session''' (they are not part of the route or layout) to provide easier navigation in some of the more complex yards in the layout. The EITs provide paths into and out of the yards. In some cases they also provide direct paths through the yards.<br><br>

EITs are setup at the following locations:-
+
*'''Gladstone Down''' - to provide paths out of '''Gladstone''' in the directions of '''Jamestown''' and the '''Wilmington Line'''.
+
*'''Gladstone Up''' - to provide paths into '''Gladstone''' from the directions of '''Jamestown''' and the '''Wilmington Line'''.
+
*'''Caltowie''' - to provide paths into, out of and through '''Caltowie''' from the directions of '''Gladstone''' and '''Peterborough'''.
+
*'''Jamestown''' - to provide paths into, out of and through '''Jamestown''' from the directions of '''Gladstone''' and '''Peterborough'''.
+
*'''Peterborough West''' - to provide paths into and out of '''Peterborough''' from the directions of '''Gladstone''' and '''Quorn'''.
+
*'''Peterborough East''' - to provide paths into and out of '''Peterborough''' from the directions of '''Terowie''' and '''Paratoo'''.
+
*'''Paratoo''' - to provide paths into and out of '''Paratoo''' from the direction of '''Peterborough'''.
+
*'''Terowie''' - to provide paths into and out of '''Terowie''' from the direction of '''Peterborough'''.
+
*'''Orroroo''' - to provide paths into, out of and through '''Orroroo''' from the directions of '''Peterborough''' and '''Quorn'''.
+
*'''Carrieton''' - to provide paths into, out of and through '''Carrieton''' from the directions of '''Peterborough''' and '''Quorn'''.
+
*'''Quorn''' - to provide paths into and out of '''Quorn''' from the direction of '''Peterborough'''.
+
'''Gladstone''' and '''Peterborough''' have each been split into two '''EITs''' because of the large number of paths at each location.

Selecting this path will '''NOT''' set the entire path from '''Gladstone''' to '''Broken Hill'''. It will only set the path from the '''Starting Signal''' (in this case '''GSX G27D''') to the '''End Signal''' ('''Gladstone Home Up''' on the '''Broken Hill''' side of the yard). Every path is named according to its starting point (one of five locations or a track in the local yard) and its destination (one of five locations or a track in the local yard). The five locations are '''Port Pirie''', '''Broken Hill''', '''Terowie''', '''Quorn''' and '''Wilmington''' even if that location is not the destination or starting point of the consist. This is intended to indicate the direction of travel only.<br>

Paths that have been set can be cancelled so that their signals and junction switches will be returned to their previous states. They will be returned automatically after the consist has cleared the '''Exit Signal''' for a path but if you change your mind and decide to take a different path or not use the EITs then a set path can be cancelled.<br>

You have several options for driving to '''Caltowie''', the next '''EIT''' location. There is a minor location, '''Yangya''', between '''Gladstone''' and '''Caltowie''' but it has no '''EIT''', minimal yard infrastructure, no signals and its switches are set for the main line through to '''Caltowie'''.
 
 
[[image:DotPoint1.JPG|link=]]&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 17px; background-color: black; color: white;">&nbsp;Manual Control&nbsp;</span><br>
 
 
You can manually drive the train through to '''Caltowie''' without using the '''EIT''' as described in <span style="font-weight: 700;">Step <span style="color: white; background-color: blue; font-size: 18px;">&nbsp;1&nbsp;</span></span> above. This would require that all the switches along the path be correctly set first. You can do this by manually setting all the switches yourself using the information on the '''Gladstone''' [[image:Tab_SW_Grey.png|link=|75px]]&nbsp;page (link via [[image:Line_Index_Label.png|link=SAR_Index|Location Index]] - link will open in this window).

You can now use the '''Driver Control Dial''' or the keyboard controls to drive the train out of '''Gladstone Yard''' to '''Caltowie'''. Alternatively, for those with advanced steam loco driving skills, you can take control of the throttle, brake and various valves wheels in the loco cab.<br>

You can also drive by adding '''Driver Commands''' directly into the '''Driver Command Bar''' on the bottom right of the screen. The '''Drive To''', '''Drive to Trackmark''', '''Drive via''' and other commands are available for use.<br>
 
 
The approach to every location in the route has '''Trackmarks''' added to allow you to use this method to let the '''AI''' do most of the driving work. These trackmarks are placed a short distance ahead of the approach home signal, a semaphore signal, at those locations that have visible signals. Where the location has no visible signals (the majority of locations in the division were unsignalled) then a visible '''Caution''' track sign has been placed alongside the trackmark.<br>
 
 
The '''Trackmarks''' are shown on the '''Caltowie''' [[image:Tab_TM_Grey.png|link=|75px]]&nbsp;page (link via [[image:Line_Index_Label.png|link=SAR_Index|Location Index]] - link will open in this window).<br>
