We might be getting into a case of local terminology here. On the local BNSF line they are refered to as a "Switch". Other roads may prefer "Turnout", and the Engineering Dept., depending on the company may use either. I'm beginning to think that this is similar to most roads calling the little car that used to be on the end of a freight train a "Caboose" and others calling them "Cabins" or "Vans" or "Waycars". We may all be right depending on where we live. Ron H.
