Switches on platform faces


Recommended Posts

It's known as a datum plate.  The little slider is I think aligned with a line across the top of the rails and there are various figures related to track geometry.  Helps to ensure the track is in the correct position especially next to a platform where trains scraping it is a bad idea but so are big gaps for passengers.
