RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 30, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2013 This scenario of double traps with Facing point locks has nothing to do with the normal trapping to protect passenger lines from goods lines and sidings, it relates to protection of lines linking two passenger lines under different management and for the most part would be a preservation era issue. Some of the trapping within the yard at Wirksworth probably would be better described as catch points due to the rather extreme gradients of some of the quarry lines. Keith I wonder why we had at least one such arrangement on a freight only branch on the Western ? (actually it was done to make sure that our locos didn't get into a situation where they were moving towards the private sdg owners locos and vice versa.
