Electric railroads - digital or analog control?

A definite advantage of digital systems is the ability to run multiple locomotives independently on a single track. With an analog control system, two locomotives placed on the same track will run at the same time. This is because analog control is based on increasing and decreasing track current voltage. Separate running of two or more electric railroads requires connecting several independently powered tracks, which is complicated and requires good planning and a lot of space. In digital sets, the voltage of current in the rails is constant, and locomotives are controlled by sending the appropriate signals to them from the controller.
