Well lets see, you have a frog and a guardrail. I forgot to mention the frog plates which vary in length. It's been a while since I last installed one of these babies. Frogs take an awful beating unless properly tamped and maintained. A turnout is a simple, yet brilliant piece of engineering.
In case anyone is wondering, these are called spring frogs. They work by opening up on one side by the action of the wheel riding against the guard rail on the diverging route. The main line route is always opened. There is a wing on the same side as the handcar when it started that helps open the frog. the pointed side is opened mainly by the outer wheel riding against the guard rail pushing the frog wing over.
I've only seen one other frog like this one where the center is opened and closed just like the points. Not sure how it works but rare to see but you can tell if you look close enough at the top of the frog plus the extra parts on the sides that aren't on a typical frog.
Fog is actually when wheel come in contact with rail on siding. The frog is at The V point where wheel of train made impact in rail. Not A rail frog. Go google and search rail frog point. Google can solve your question.
This is a small short line railway in belton Missouri they have two steam locomotives which are allowed to be climbed on on their main track we have an old GP nine but holes around if you miss matched cars with the caboose mainly small attraction things like ice cream trains in the summer or Halloween special or a Christmas special really not a functioning well Road more of a tourist type attraction
That's a pretty dumb and dangerous move. The RR close to me has a lot of spring switches, every time the track department has to move their equipment through they drive a spike into it to open it up then go through (they remove the spike after they are done of course).

From some of these comments I can see they have no clue about railroad track and what various components are called.

In mexico those frogs are called "semiautomatic"
3 dislikes from people who don't know what a "frog" is on the railroad....
Be careful, you know what Red Foreman said about YOLO... O-o
that frog not good, i am imagine if the intermodal passing through that frog, oh no there will be a derailment...
No frog was hurt in this filming
I missed it but I really don't need to see it again!!
Took me a min to figure out what a frog is. Why would someone post a poor frog getting flattened. Duhh.
i just watch this for to scared my sister she HATE frog
u mean its foot?
forget the poor video on the frog...what rr uses handcars anyway? what is this 1905? lol
I can't see the frog
240p we meet again.
Me neither
There's not a frog! This is a lie
there was no frog there
It's a part of the railroad track
that's b******* why would you kill the living creature
There is no living creature

Lol u got trolled kids learn terminology
🐸💥💢💦💩

Papa Moreno me either
Not the living creature
It's a part of the railroad track
Comment section full of clueless 8 year olds
Matt Brimmer the rail piece is called a frog the part where the rail crosses into the rail at the switch
My these kids wasn't an animal live frog.
I saw the frog, and I saw that it was spring loaded.

Not a real frog*
A YOLO moment would be cranking the shit out of a handcar while a freight train is approaching......maybe when I'm 86 I'll try that....
I thought he was talking about a real frog....
I thought he ran over a real frog -_-
I was looking for a real frog lol
Was the frog ok?
cud technologii.
I didn’t see the frog
Ahhh. 240p. We meet again.
Would there be any difficulty running a handcar over the frog? The video is not quite clear enough to see any bouncing over the points.
This video is a lie
There are no frog
ESKISEHIRSPOR
Where is this?
Baby frog
Crap video quality.
DO OVER!
But nice try!

There's a part of the railroad called a frog....
that's a relief, I thought it was going to be a green frog
I ran over a frog once.... (do I need to give you the punchline? Nah, thought not)
The punchline leapt over my head
That frog's got some good camouflage.
DID NOT SEE NO FROG!!!
Lmaoo
