Western Railroad Discussion > Some kinda serious derail, eh?Date: 03/06/23 04:52 Some kinda serious derail, eh? Author: santafe199 Looks like Uncle Pete is adamant about keeping stray movements off of his main track...
1. UP yard scene in Salina, KS on February 11, 2023. Nothing like sun glint on burnished steel rails to bring out the detail... “Lined & locked in the derailing position”!

TAW Date: 03/06/23 18:48 Re: Some kinda serious derail, eh? Author: gonx Some spurs may have a "double derail". The common one keeps errant cars on the spur from venturing onto the main. And a derail going into the spur, in case vandals break the lock and line a mainline train into the spur. Some propane tank car spurs have this arrangement.

Chuck Date: 03/07/23 19:37 Re: Some kinda serious derail, eh? Author: Orient It could be done as in Europe and have a switch lined for a 20ft dead-end section and call that a derail.
