Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A guide rail at a railroad turnout installed to relieve wear and tear of the switch point rail on the left side.

The turnout actually is a 'catch points' and the traffic here is on the diverging track only (the straight track leads to the stub).

The orange-coated man is a railroad worker lubricating the points' slide pads.
Русский: Направляющий контррельс с противо­шёрст­ной стороны стрелочного перевода.

Прямой путь ведёт в предохранительный тупик, а поездные маршруты здесь только по отклонённому пути. Поэтому для уменьшения износа остряка стрелки установлен направляющий контррельс, смещающий колпары в сторону отклонения и подготав­ли­ва­ю­щий тележку к повороту.

Украина, Киев, станция Борщаговка, грузовой ход под путепроводом просп. Леся Курбаса / Космонавта Комарова.

Человек в оранжевой куртке — это путеец, смазывающий опорные площадки, по которым скользят остряки при переводе стрелки.
