Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Portable Derails and Why Are They Used?

The use of derail devices is a deliberate way to stop and manage the movement of railcars and locomotives. Derails are essential in preventing a car from colliding with another, unauthorized coupling of a locomotive to a stationary car, and a car rolling out onto the mainline. According to OSHA, FRA, and DOT regulations, derail protection is mandatory for all operational rail sidings.
