hey, thanks, sorry I haven't responded earlier to your postings, but i was on christmas vacation, skiing in lake Tahoe (and watching operations on Donner Pass) but anyways, the forementioned switch has a rectangular "Deadman's Switch" sign mounted on the switch - post, at the end of an intustrial spur, but it is built so that the car that runs over the unalined switch, will just fall off the rails, so that it is stratling the rail. there is no spring on the switch, and no 'berm' to run into. i do think that it is a derail, but if so, wouldn't it be cheaper (and easier to maintain) to install an actual derail device, instead of practicaly building an entire switch? (P.S. being in Boy Scouts i "operate" under a "look but don't touch, leave no trace" principal.)
