I know from reading "Railway operation for the Modeller" that catch points should be installed near the foot of gradients, but I was wondering if in the case of a double track line they are installed on both running lines or only on the line where the foot of the gradient is in the rear of the train - ie the catch point derails hauled wagons / carriages which become detached rather than loose shunted stock some where further up the line in advance of the normal running of the loco.

Does anybody know?
