The Eurobalise is part of the new train control system and a kind of transponder. This system allows an automatic braking of the train in case of emergency between the distant signal and the main signal. Before starting up the new system the metal cover of the yellow radio beacon will be removed. Staad, Switzerland, May 11, 2011.
