    Vķ Mãħëšħ
    This document discusses turnouts and controllers in railway systems. It describes the components of turnouts including tongue rails, crossings, and heel blocks. It also explains different types of turnouts like double turnouts and scissors crossings. Additionally, it covers signaling systems for controlling train movement, including mechanical and electrical signaling and the use of interlocking to ensure safety. The document provides details on the components and purpose of railway switches that enable trains to be guided from one track to another at junctions.

    TRACK LAYOUT
    RAIL SWITCH
    RAIL SWITCH :
    • A railroad switch or turnout is a mechanical
    installation which enables railway trains to be
    guided from one track to another, such as at a
    railway junction.
    • Combination of stock rail and tongue rail form a
    switch.
    • A set of switches is known as points.
    • The combination of points and crossing is called
    a Turn out
    • A turnout generally has a straight "through" track
    (such as the main-line) and a diverging route
    HEEL BLOCKS OR DISTANCE BLOCKS
    Railway signals
