Rail switches allow trains to change a track

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Switches allow trains to change a track or direction. Since a train cannot make half a turn, the switches will allow it to make a change of direction by stalling the locomotive and the locomotive will be placed in the opposite direction. Usually its maneuvers are done at the station, because it shelters numerous railway tracks
Français : Les aiguillages permettent aux trains de changer une voie ou bien une direction. Étant donné qu'un train ne peut pas faire un demi-tour, donc les aiguillages lui permettront de faire un changement de sens par le biais d'un décrochage de la locomotive et ont mis cette dernière au sens opposé. Généralement ses manœuvres se font à la gare, car elle abrite de nombreuses voies ferrées
中文:开关允许火车改变轨迹或方向。 由於列车不能掉头,因此该等开关可让列车通过机车的一个档位改变方向,并使机车反向行驶。 它通常是在车站进行机动,因为它可以遮蔽许多铁路轨道。
Español: Los cambios de dirección permiten a los trenes cambiar una vía o una dirección. Dado que un tren no puede dar la vuelta, los cambios de dirección le permitirán cambiar de sentido a través de un abandono de la locomotora y la han puesto en dirección opuesta. Por lo general, sus maniobras se realizan en la estación, ya que alberga numerosas vías férreas
Deutsch: Die Weichen ermöglichen es den Zügen, eine Strecke oder eine Richtung zu wechseln. Da ein Zug nicht umkehren kann, können die Weichen die Lokomotive durch Losziehen der Lokomotive in die entgegengesetzte Richtung lenken. Die Manöver werden meist am Bahnhof gemacht, weil dort viele Bahngleise liegen.
