As soon as I find an image of an outside slip I'll post a link. -- 7severn7 11:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
I think the article should have it name changed to Railway Points/Railroad Switch to reflect that it has different names in the birth place of the Railway and the Largest Railway network. With the Birth Place's name should come first because that is what they called for the longest and before the name Railroad came it was a Railway everywhere.-- 85.255.236.180 ( talk) 11:13, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Mabey move the list of different types of points into a new page. I Like The british Rail Class 483 ( talk) 17:05, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
Ladder layouts are used on both yards and on mainlines so they should be in here. For example Clapham Junction is a Ladder which lets trains come off Latchmere curve and run on the Windsor or the South western mainline. Another reason is that it makes sense it be in Railway Points page. International Junction near to London Waterloo is a Ladder. There is other examples of Ladders in use on the national network and not in yards, which is what Marshalling Yards and Ladder track which both make it out to be that you will only find the Marshalling yards which is not true. https://sacuksprodnrdigital0001.blob.core.windows.net/sectional-appendix/Sectional Appendix full PDFs March 23/Kent Sussex Wessex Sectional Appendix March 2023 .pdf I Like The british Rail Class 483 ( talk) 08:59, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Mention if rocks kicked up by cars on nearby gravel roads might jam switches. Jidanni ( talk) 07:26, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
