[PRCo] Re: Double--Point__RR__Turnouts-__-1940--1950

[Fred Schneider]

It seems to me that most of the T-rail turnouts, except for a few  
instances where they reverted to single point castings, were double  
point.   That includes any crossovers on routes 10-15, 62, 56,  
Washington, Charleroi, 42, 38-A,

Now if we were to go to Europe, double point street special work  
castings are common, which allows much higher speeds than we those to  
which we were accustomed.
