鱼雷, 铁路爆炸装置
an explosive device placed on railroad tracks, activated by passing trains to warn engineers of potential dangers ahead
A torpedo is a small device placed on the track to signal an emergency or warn train operators about a problem ahead. These devices are typically used in situations where immediate action is needed, such as when a train needs to stop or slow down quickly due to an obstruction or accident. When a train runs over a torpedo, it makes a loud noise, alerting the crew to take action. Torpedoes were commonly used in the past, but modern technology has largely replaced them with electronic warning systems.
