I absolutely love how easy this was to understand. Moreover, whenever a question popped into my head, for example, about the crossing section being without gaps, the video continues to smoothly transition into explaining that without overburdening the viewer with all the information at once.
Fun fact the machines that switch the tracks can be heard from hundreds of feet away and often switch the track half an hour before the next train travels on it. You can figure out where the next train will go just by looking at it. This is one of the skills I picked up as a train hopper.
As a rail tech myself, the presentation is guite good. The current mechanism would be more complex due to the need for high speed through the switches, the gap is handled with another switch. So the wheel is smoothly pass through at high speed. And also the steering mechanism which consists of several lever on the boogie and its cone shape wheel keep the train inside the track while making a turn. Its fascinating watching these awesome tech..

I'm one of those operators in germany and I really like the video. It's a really simple but well explanation for laypeople and at the same time 100% accurate!
I understood the bendable tongue track part at a young age but always wondered about the fixed tongue track part. I used to think at that small point, the train can easily detail and maybe we just have to live with that part being very high risk because we don't have any better track changing mechanism. From this video I learnt about the rail check which make it basically impossible for the wheels to turn the other way and derail. It satisfied years old curiosity that I had since I was a child. Thank you!
This is beyond words. I always had difficulty in visualising all these mechanisms despite reading the theory several times. Millions of thanks to you for making this animation with a nice explanation as well. Thank you so much for this.
The original video said that the flanges were always in contact with the rail. This was wrong. They are a last resort. The main reason the wheels stay on the rails is their conical shape. The animation clearly shows this shape but it's never mentioned in the narration.

I have retired from Indian Railways service. So, naturally I am still curious to learn newer things about the functioning of the rail organization. On many occasions I watched the trains changing tracks.I was curious to know how it was done. You have explained the whole process in a simple manner. I hope to know more and more about the technical side of the working of railways in future.
Believe me or not, During my childhood I was so obsessed with trains that I understood this mechanism at a very young age, only by looking at the trains crossing the tracks.
It is called iterative development. Nobody invents these things at one go. First they built tracks for wheels and then expanded on the concept. Railroads aided European revolution, colonization and the world wars. These aren't cutting edge modem inventions.
those are simple concepts compare to what we actually have now. i.e: airplanes.... learning how it all works together would probably end you some degree and a job in the aviation sector :P

Rail line related items maintained by P Way & connection from machine, all the connections for movement as well as electrically & circuit overlooked by us & thatswhy it is always centre of dispute between these 2 departments of railway. Its very very sensitive equipment mechanically, where even a millimetre matters & having very complex circuitry. Mind blowing equipment but labyrinth.🤩 Thanks to lesics, even my basics improved. 😊
Great explanation with fascinating animations--almost real. I like that you ask questions once a while and make the viewer think how to solve design problems. There are 100s of lectures and videos, but students just passively watch.
It's amazing to know that so many things take place in split seconds at very high speeds to let trains switch tracks safely. My respect for engineering is growing everyday with your videos!
I understood this mechanism (only the track switching and the junction crossing) at the age of 11 for traveling in local trains many times. 🙂 Just feeling very happy that Lesics made a video on it. 😁😁😁
As trains pass over points, massive forces are applied to the rail elements, day in day out. It always amazes me that the structure survives this onslaught and metal fatigue seems to be rare . . .
I have always wondered how this track mechanism works, and many railroad people have tried to explain it, but this is the simplest and easiest way to understand how it works.
This is so cool. I actually write software for a company that monitors the output of the switches, but I have never seen a switch in action with this much detail. Very good explanation! Nou my graphs make a little more sense to me!
I was thinking about this mechanics since my childhood and no one ever explain me even snippet idea about this also with this much ease, and honestly this gave a clear picture about how whole mechanics works.. video was very informative thank you
When I was kid I used to watch track so carefully during my train journey that I understood all the mechanism when I was kid. Also later when I completed my engineering got to work in a Indian railway maintainance facility.
RUclips is a revolution. Years ago, these things used to be taught only in colleges without any kind of visualisation. Such a good explanation this is. Thank you!
It never occurred to me that the tongue tracks actually bent to achieve switching! I thought they were just moving laterally from a closed to open position, not deforming. It always blows my mind when engineers utilize the plasticity of otherwise stiff materials to achieve the needed mechanics. It's so creative, and also requires balancing the added stress and risk of eventual failure of the complaint mechanism and the simplicity gained against the lower risk of material failure but increased complexity of a stiff mechanism.
THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!! I watched at least 5 different videos trying to explain how track switching works and this was explained perfectly. I can’t believe I actually understand it. The engineering behind this is actually genius. Damn thank you again!!!🙏🙏🙏
@@FelineRaptor-gv4te with enough force anything would bend. Also the bend is exaggerated in the animation its just a little bit and the metal can handle it.
