Derail device

[NW Mailing List]

Here's the derailer at Boaz from summer '58. This image is from Trains
website, and is a Jim Shaughnessy photo.

Note: this is an automatic derailer, controlled by linkage to the turnout.

I looked for a drawing of a derailer in the Archives, but couldn't locate
anything.
