The rail switch includes a first rail section having a first end, a second end, a first face and a second face, as well as a receptor portion for receiving a first gate, an aperture located between the first end and second end through which a first connecting portion of the switch mounting is inserted, and a first weld mounting on the first face and a second weld mounting on the second face of the first rail section securing the first rail section and switch mounting together. The rail switch also includes a second rail section having a first end, a second end, a first face and a second face, as well as a receptor portion for receiving a second gate, an aperture located between the first end and second end through which a second connecting portion of the switch mounting is inserted, and a first weld mounting on the first face and a second weld mounting on the second face of the second rail section securing the second rail section and switch mounting together. A gate operating mechanism operatively connects the first gate and second gate to selectively open and close the first gate and second gate. Rail sections for use in a rail switching system and a method of assembling a rail switch are also provided.
