Realtime assignment of railways is an important component in the railway control systems. To solve this problem, we must exactly represent the track topology. Graph is a proper data structure for representing general network topologies, but not Proper for track topologies. In this paper, we define a new data structure, railway graph, which can exactly represent topologies of railway networks. And we describe a path search algorithm in the defined railway graph, and a top-down approach for designing railway network by the Proposed graph.
