Two-Way Hinged Railroad Derail w/Manual Sign Holder (For Locomotives)

Low-angle deflection bar accommodates a longer wheelbase of 6-axle locomotives. Allow ample space alongside the track for the derailed vehicle to slide to a stop.

When you positively have to stop a freight car or locomotive — Derails are emergency stopping devices designed to guide the wheels of a freight car or locomotive off the rails. OSHA requires that every industrial siding be equipped with a derail to deny locomotive entry before removing railcars.

Hinged derails are lifted on and off the rail or with our Lifting Lever. The blue derail sign is separately raised and lowered by hand. For additional convenience, consider the Pop-up Sign Holder for either One-Way or Two-Way derails.

For use on wooden ties. Designed for freight cars & locomotives (4 axle & 6 axle) operating at 10 m.p.h. or less.

CAUTION: Install derails on exposed rail tracks only. For rails, 90-141 lbs./yd. Derails are sized to fit a specific rail height, including the thickness of the tie plate. A blue derail sign and holder are included with the derail (see MoonSign). Six screw spikes are provided for proper anchoring to ties. Height of derail above the rail, 2-3/4".
