Branch Module

This prefabricated steel module has two switches back-to-back with the operating mechanism inside. At 11 x 13 x 76 feet and weighing 30 tons, it is delivered on a railroad flatcar. The upper and lower rails are fixed from A to B and flex from B to C. At D there is a nine-foot-long "rotor": you can see it change tracks if you watch the video closely. Rotation takes only a couple of seconds.
