The invention concerns a method for operating an axle counter system (AC3,) for monitoring the occupation status (F, O) of a track section (TS1, TS2) being limited by counting positions (CP1, CP2, CP3). At least one detection point (DP1, DP2, DP3) is provided at each counting position (CP1, CP2, CP3) and at at least one counting position (CP1, CP2, CP3) has a set of redundant detection points (DP1, DP2, DP3, RDP1, RDP2, RDP3). The method is caracterised by selecting for each counting position exactly one detection point for further processing, the counter values of the selected detection points being used for determining the number of remaining axles within the track section and the counter values of the non-selected redundant detection points being ignored.
