Dual gauge -- common rail change-over device, Southern Cross station, Melbourne

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A common-rail change-over configuration on dual-gauge (1600 mm broad and 1435 mm standard) three-rail track at Southern Cross station, Melbourne, Australia. The fixed device steers standard-gauge rolling stock from a common rail (ie, that is used by vehicles of both gauges) in the left foreground, to the right-hand rail. As a result, both broad and standard gauge trains can pass through the turnout further on).
