ABSTRACT:
A track switch for a train for selectively coupling a main track to a selected one of first and second tracks. The track switch includes a first channel and first support means movable within the first channel between a raised position wherein the first support forms a first track connection between the main track and the first track, and a lowered position wherein the first channel forms a first gap between the main track and the first track. The track switch further includes a second channel and a second support movable within the second channel between a lowered position, wherein the second channel forms a second gap between the main track and the second track, and a raised position, wherein the second channel forms a second track connection between the main track and the second track. A central control unit moves one of the first and second supports to the raised position, and the other of the first and second supports to the lowered position so that a continuous section of track is formed through the track switch for passage of the train.
