PRODUCT PARAMETERS
Turnout, also called railway switch, is a connection equipment from one railway to another railway. Usually there are a large number of rail lines at the marshalling station. With turnout, even single-track railway, two trains could run from opposite directions through construction of an out-section line which is longer than train, railway line can fully function to its limitation.
A single turnout usually consists of a frog, a switch, two switch points, two guard rails, straight and curved closure rails, stock rails and switch stand.

Type: Single turnout, symmetrical turnout, three-way turnout, crossing crosses turnoutetc.


 
A railway turnout, railroad switch or set of points is kind of mechanical construction to enable a train guiding from one track line to another, especially at a railroad junction. The railroad turnout can be considered as an instrument of a switch or a frog, which transfers the rolling stock from one path to another. As industrial railroads always bear lighter loads with slower speeds than that of mainline track work, industrial switches are installed with lighter materials or components.

A turnout always includes a pair or linked tapering rails, also called points or switch rails, placing between the crossing outside rails. The switches are enable to move laterally into one of the two positions to guide the railway train passing from the just point blades to the straight track or diverging track.

Animated diagram to a railway turnout sample: the rail track A is divided into two tracks: B (straight one ) and C(diverging one).
