Wasn't it a simple matter of "toilet lid up," detuned a resonant circuit as it went by, "toilet lid down," no detuning and that's how it worked?

Not quite. There were at least 3 settings, I've heard of 5 settings. The wayside equipment was essentially a grid dip meter with 5 different frequencies. The switch selected one of the resonant frequencies.
