Derail - 2 Way Hinged - 6 Axle Locomotive - 80#-141#

Suitable for 6-axle and 4-axle locomotives and all freight cars. Low-angle deflection bar accommodates longer wheel base of 6-axle locomotives. Allow ample space alongside the track for derailed vehicle to slide to a stop.

When you positively have to stop a freight car or locomotive — Derails are emergency stopping devices designed to guide the wheels of a freight car or locomotive off the rails. OSHA requires that every industrial siding be equipped with a derail to deny locomotive entry before railcars are ready to be removed.

Hinged derails are lifted on and off the rail by hand or with Lifting Lever (#4014-28 and #4014-25). The blue derail sign is separately lifted and lowered by hand. For more convenience consider the Pop-up Sign Holder for either 1-way or 2-way derails.
