    50 years ago, if someone suggest snap-track for actual railroads they would've been laughed at

    What a nice video showing a very coordinated group of teams doing this work. Plus it is always great to see BNSF updating and or upgrading their roadbed in order to keep their traffic moving to it destinations.

    Is this what we in the UK call a slip point?

    So, does this in essence function as a switch in both directions?

    The BNSF has spent a lot of money in Vancouver, WA. I noticed yesterday that the North Vancouver signal has moved 1/2 mile southward and new signals in the yard. Is there any video on those projects?

      This diamond has a shallow angle. A normal diamond would have 4 frogs, with a lot of banging around and resultant maintenance to keep the ride acceptable.
      The movable point diamond takes out some of the frogs, making it more like 2 switches installed close together. This allows for a smoother ride and easier maintenance.
