Posted by Frank Orona on August 9, 2008  I believe that is a switch point derail. Posted by Doug Wolfe on August 10, 2008  Very nice photo Ed. Posted by Ed Mullan on August 10, 2008  Thanks for the kind words, Doug. And yes, that's a derail. The spur it's on ties right into the Eastbound main, and is used for storage for cars to be picked up here by a manifest daily, Q316. When they redid the interlocking, they put this derail in new, and put all new switches, with of course electric/manual machines, replacing all the old ones.
