Looks like it manually keeps the points against the stock rail. Date: 06/15/22 11:26 Re: Dual gauge switching machine (Brazil) Author: pedrop We call it "Taramela". It is a device to prevent switch points to move while the train is passing on them. It is used in the areas where we have switches moved manually.
