Railway crossing frogs

Railway crossing frogs !

Railroad crossing frogs are specialized components of railroad tracks that help guide the wheels of a train from one track to another at a junction or crossing.

These frogs are designed to withstand the enormous forces and wear and tear associated with trains passing over them.
The main parts or positions on a railroad crossing frog that experience wear are: Point of Switching, Heel Block, Guard Rails, Frog Flange

Proper maintenance and inspection of railroad frogs are essential to ensure safe and efficient train operations. Wear in these critical areas can lead to derailments or other operational issues if not addressed promptly.
