Consolidated Leo posted:It's not clear to me that switch position equates to train direction. But if there were an inner loop and an outer loop, and a train in the inner loop is running west while a train in the outer loop is running east, then I would agree. Under those circumstances, switch position would give you the direction indicator to pull this off. But that was not stated by the OP.
OP here - I mentioned nothing about inner and outer loops - I did mention a dog bone setup. In such a setup, the switches anti-derail system will change position as the train exits to the straight away.
