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 --
