Progress Rail Services can provide customers with a switch point derail that is used for derailing rolling stock in an emergency. Some useful locations may be a siding leading into a chemical loading area, or areas where an uncontrolled car can get from a side track onto a main track. Derails are available in 11-foot, 15-foot or 16-foot, 6-inch, single- or double-switch point.
