ABS on Double Track means that each track is only signaled for trains traveling with the current of traffic. The ABS ensures the safety for trains running with the current of traffic (dark green and brown lines).
What exactly are ABS and interlockings? Well ABS stands for “Automatic Block Signal' and an interlocking is a physical track structure in which appliances are such that signals cannot be simultaneously displayed on conflicting routes.
In ABS or signalized areas, the closest point to which a car may approach the insulated rail joint or vehicle detector governing occupation of the block in which the switch is situated.
Automatic Block Signal (ABS) A train control subsystem based on a series of consecutive blocks governed by block signals which are controlled by the movement of trains and certain other conditions (e.g., detection of level crossing closure) rather ...
ABS - A plastic used in Model Railroading which is harder than Styrene.
Abutment -A foundation designed to hold back the pressure of solid ground, such as an end pier of a bridge.
ACC - Alphacyanoacrylate, Super glue, also called "CA".
DTC may be used in conjunction with track signalling in APB, ABS, or over dark territory. Distant Signal A fixed signal outside of a block system, used to govern the approach to a block signal, interlocking signal or switch point indicator.
Automatic Block System, or Automatic Block Signal (ABS)
RAILWAYS. A train control system. I believe that ABS is a relatively primitive system compared with CTC and CTS.

RAILWAYS. See "Fleeting".
The areas between the interlockings were controlled by automatic block signaling, or ABS. Automatic block signals control traffic by spacing the trains for safety.
Kawai has introduced a new technology in piano construction dubbed ABS styran and carbon .
Automatic Block Signal System (ABS)
A series of consecutive blocks whose use is governed either by train actuated block signals or by certain conditions affecting the use of a block.
Automatic Block Signal System (ABS)
A block signal system wherein the use of each block is governed by an automatic signal.
