TWO WAY HINGED RAILROAD DERAIL W/MANUAL SIGN HOLDER FOR FREIGHT CARS

DO NOT USE THIS DERAIL if 6-axle locomotives operate on your tracks.  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 our Derail Lifting Lever. The blue derail sign is separately lifted and lowered by hand. For more convenience consider the Pop-up Sign Holder for either One-Way or Two-Way Derails. For use on wooden ties. Designed for freight cars and 4-axle locomotives operating at 5 mph or less. Do not use where 6-axle locomotives operate. CAUTION: Install derails on exposed rail tracks only. For rails, 90-141 lbs./yd. Derails are sized to fit a specific rail height, including the thickness of the tie plate. A blue derail sign and holder are included with the derai
