What should you do if there is no response from the remote controlled rail switch?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Manually position the rail switch.
Explanation
In the photo you can see a points signal hanging above the track. When remotely controlled points do not respond, you should move them by hand - answer A.
If the points have not moved even though the signal was sent, the tram driver stops the tram in front of them and moves the switch blade by hand with the adjuster. Reversing the carriage and passing again (answer B) requires reversing, which has its own risk, and does not guarantee success. Driving in the direction that is set (answer C) would mean entering the wrong route or passing over a switch blade that is not in the correct position. After moving the points, you check that the switch blade is resting against the stock rail. When moving the points, you protect yourself against the movement of other vehicles.
