Railway Rerailer

Railway rerailers are devices used in the railroad industry to guide derailed train wheels back onto the tracks. They are a type of track material and fall under the supply class of Track Material, Railroad in the supply group Railway Equipment.

Railway rerailers are typically made of durable materials such as steel or iron and are designed to withstand the weight and force of a derailed train. They are placed strategically along the tracks to provide a smooth transition for the wheels to re-enter the rails.

When a train derails, the rerailers are positioned under the derailed wheels. As the train is slowly moved forward, the wheels roll along the rerailers, guiding them back onto the tracks. This process helps to prevent further damage to the train and the tracks, and allows for a quicker recovery and resumption of train operations.

Railway rerailers are an essential component of railway safety equipment, ensuring that trains can be quickly and safely put back on track in the event of a derailment.
