One truck goes thru a switch straight , and then its thrown or moves and then the second truck of the car goes over the switch diverging and you split the switch. Happens with spring switches at Trolley Museums, operator springs thrr first truck and the switch springs. Then Operator goes "oh chit, didn't want to go that way" and starts to backup... truck goes the other way since the switch sprung back. |
