Why Use A Switch Cube^® Direction Indicator?

The majority of derailments in industrial rail yards occur at switches and are the result of human error:

1. An inexperienced worker may not know how to “read the points” or understand the meaning of conventional switch targets when aligning the switch.
2. Workers operating locomotives can misunderstand the meaning of conventional targets and wind up forcing their way through a switch that was lined for the converging track. through switches which are lined for the converging track.
