The derails at the junction were originally RR points weren't they

 which literally put the car on the ground and they were operated by  the

 tower, not the approaching trolley.  This derail could only catch  runaway

 cars possibly unattended when a relief is made; this derail would not

 catch a vehicle with slack brakes.  Look very closely in this photo

  http://www.davesrailpix.com/pitts/htm/pitt605..htm  and you can see  the

 derail among the weeds.

There was also a Derail at Palm Garden on the southbound storage track 

which led to the 42-main  --  RR type switch  --
