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:
- An inexperienced worker may not know how to “read the points” or understand the meaning of conventional switch targets when aligning the switch.
- 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.
