Turnouts can be supplied to AREMA, Industrial, and Class I Railroad Industrial standards in fully assembled panels or as components. We offer our panelized trackwork in rail sections ranging from 12-lb. to 175-lb. Once the turnouts are panelized, they are labeled and numbered for installation, packaged and shipped to the customer to maximize the ease of installation at the job site and to minimize customer costs. The turnout features a solidly constructed switch with heavy duty rods, adjustable side jaw clips, and a full gauge plate, and a solid manganese self guarded frog. Popular sizes of this turnout can usually be obtained from stock.
