      If I am not wrong the tongue rail will be locked in either position, otherwise it will cause the above to happen.

      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..

    @rishabhdubey374 2 года назад +81

    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.

    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.

    I've been wondering how this system worked since I first saw one of these bare rails when I was a kid. Playing Transport Fever 2 piqued my interest to a point where I need to find the answer pronto. This video finally answered a decades long question for me. Well done.

    Are these design pointers valid for monorails as well? Or just standard trains?

      Yes its juat standard train monorail use turntabe

    • @wovelscotch
      @wovelscotch 3 года назад +1

      I have zero clue what the people replying to you are trying to say.
      No. These are not the same principles of monorail switching since the tracks/wheels are fundamentally different.

      He made a common mistake about how the flange functions. It doesn't contact the rail unless it absolutely has to; if it constantly contacted the rail it would cause undue friction and prematurely wear out the wheel or cause an accident.

    There is a diesel locomotive shed and train parking track near my school, so we have seen this mechanism in action many times. We regularly see manual operation at the track junction and the operator station was near the parking so we ofent just sneak in the operator room and have a look inside. Just good old days.
    Great video man thanks for awesome content.
