Let’s know how trains change tracks in the Indian Railways.
To facilitate track changes, a special mechanical arrangement called a railroad switch is used. This switch consists of a pair of rails, known as switching rails or points, which are linked to one another. When a train approaches a junction or crossing, the points are adjusted to guide the wheels onto the desired track. This process allows trains to smoothly transition from one line to another, ensuring efficient and safe rail travel across the vast Indian railway network!
