A device enabling LRV or rail vehicle movement from one track to another.

• A. Strobe
• B. General Notice
• C. Switch
• D. Signal Interlocking ABS

Answer: (C)

Moving a rail vehicle from one track to another is done by a switch, also known as a turnout. It’s the mechanism that changes the path by moving the two point rails so they align with either track. When the switch is set to the desired direction and secured, the vehicle’s wheels follow the aligned track, allowing a transition between tracks. The other terms listed aren’t about changing the path: a strobe is for lighting or timing, a General Notice is simply an instruction document, and a Signal Interlocking ABS is a safety system that coordinates signals and switches rather than being the device that moves trains onto a different track.
