Do you know how the railway changed track?

On the endless and extending railway track, there have been countless trains galloping by. Do you know how the train changed track on the railway, and then changed its running direction to let the wanderers go to different destinations? Today, we will talk about the relevant common sense.

Inside the train wheel, there is a circle of disk larger than the wheel, called' rim', which makes the wheel tightly stuck in the middle of the track, which makes the wheel always run on the track without derailing, which is used to control the running direction of the train. Train track change is not controlled by the train driver, but by the movable part of the rail, which is called rail turnout. rail switch supplier

When there is a small slit in the turnout, the rim can pass through the small slit and travel in the direction guided by the outer track. When the two tracks are closely attached, the rim is guided to the inner track direction.

Turnout consists of three units: switch, connecting part, frog and guard rail. Switch includes basic rail, sharp rail and switch machinery. Besides single turnout, there are double turnout, triple turnout and multiple turnout. rail switch supplier

Turnouts have their own codes, such as turnout No.9, turnout No.12, turnout No.18 and so on. The larger the turnout number, the longer the turnout, the higher the cost and the much more land occupation. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust measures to local conditions, analyze the specific conditions and make no generalizations. rail switch supplier
