SWITCHES FOR HIGH-SPEED RAIL TRAFFIC

WEICHEN FUER SCHIENEN-SCHNELLVERKEHR

Switches for high speed traffic are designed substantially differently from usual switches, particularly where the frogs and switch points are concerned. The author describes general solutions and then examines the development of switches for high speed lines on the DB and their special constructional features. He also discusses the subject of installing new switches and maintenance.
