Switch Point Protectors

Switch Point Protector Drawing

Switch Point Protectors increase the service life of switch points by absorbing the impact of passing car wheels. The protector momentarily deflect the wheel flange so it misses the tip of the switch point. The protector is bolted to the inside of the straight stock rail leading into the switch. Normally, the protector is placed two inches ahead of the switch point tip, but this distance may vary due to speed and traffic conditions. This switch point protector is available in most standard rail sizes, and is reversible, to increase its useful service life. Furnished complete with manganese-steel face plate, bolts, nuts, spring washers and steel shim.
