The Model FM switch point guard is designed to reduce switch point wear and help eliminate derailments caused by sharp wheel flanges “picking” the protected switch points. The unit can be adjusted for wear, extending its own service life by 40 percent, the company says. Its one-piece, rail-lock superstructure clamps the stock rail, helping to prevent the switch point guard from being forced away from its protective position by wheel action. The wear bar (one size fits all) is replaceable, a characteristic that reduces maintenance costs, says the company. It is available for all rail sections.
