railway switch point to access the maintenace building at Wiscasset Railroad in Maine

To reach one of the bays of the maintenance building, a railroad car must choose one of these three tracks. The near section of track is flexible and can be moved (by a hand lever) to the left as needed. This is a "Narrow-Gauge" railroad, so the distance between tracks is only two feet (not the "standard" four feet 8 1/2 inches).
