Three Way Turnout

A turnout is a line connection device that enables locomotives and vehicles to transfer from one track to another.

Turnouts form a large family, and the most common type is the ordinary single turnout. It consists of three units: the switch, the connecting part and the guard rail.

Even on single-track railways, by laying turnouts and building a siding longer than the train, trains can run in opposite directions. Turnouts play an important role in railway lines.

    Description of Three Way Turnout

    A three-way turnout is a type of railroad turnout that splits a single track into three divergent paths, rather than the usual two. It essentially combines two turnouts in a way that allows for three different routes. This benefits areas where space is limited, like station throats or industrial yards.

    Details About Three Way Turnout

    Function: It allows someone to route a train onto one of three different tracks that branch off from a single main line.

    Construction: Three-way turnouts are essentially a combination of two standard turnouts, with the points of the second turnout positioned between the points and frog of the first. 

    Usage: People often find them in locations where space is at a premium or where specific track arrangements are needed. Like yards or station approaches.

    Complexity: They can be more complex to build and maintain than standard turnouts due to the additional points and frog.
