Turnout Component For Railway Fastening System

A turnout is a line connection device that allows locomotives and vehicles to transfer from one track to another. It is also one of the weak links of the track. It is usually laid in large quantities at stations and marshaling yards. With turnouts, the line's capacity can be fully utilized. Even for a single-track railway, laying turnouts and building a fork line that is longer than the length of the train can allow trains to run in opposite directions.
