D.A.S. Rail Enterprises LLC (Switchrite): Switchrite™ Switch Indicator

D.A.S. Rail Enterprises LLC (Switchrite)

The D.A.S. Switchrite™ switch indicator is a mechanical rail safety device that fits between the rails and is attached to the bridal bar at the switch points. It is designed to reduce run-through switches, rule violation derailments and increase switch position visibility in dark territory. The company says the indication is highly visible day or night up to 3/4 mile without using electricity or solar panels. The Switchrite switch indicator is designed to give a reliable, highly visible and highly accurate reading of the switch, and is superior in visibility and accuracy to the manual switch targets currently used by railroads, the company says.
