Nah, that's just the siding for the velocipede.

Looks like it's all there to me, just no track out the end of it. Follow the track down the street and it ends there to. In the railroad scrap business we call this a "Dead Horse". I'd like to go down there and scrap that track out!

No guard rails athe frog.
Or does this not need them?
Have never seen a switch withouthem.

Scrap? What there would be of any value?

That is a self guarded frog. No guard rails needed.

Thanks. Is that a new invention? Why are they not everywhere?
Thatrack is very old.

No, not new by any means. You will see them on switching leads and side tracks. They do not use them on mainlines. Slow speed track only.
