Switches are a type of track connection that allows trains to move from one track to another. Switches are divided into four main types:
- ordinary single right or left
- single or double crossings
- double one-sided (right, left) or two-sided (symmetrical, asymmetrical)
- curved switches
Besides, switches are divided according to:
- rail types: 49 E1, 60 E1
- according to return curve radii R: 140, 150, 190, 300
- according to slants: 1: 6.6, 1: 7, 1: 7.5, 1:9
Types of railway switches
An inseparable element of railway infrastructure are also buffer stops made of 49E1, S42 rails, also second-hand.
For all offered switches, we have spare parts such as: half-switches, crossings, guard rail devices, connecting rails and manual switch indicators, rods and sliders.
