SWITCH CUBE™ Indicator
we take the mystery out of how to line a switch
Conventional switch stand targets can be hard to see and can be misunderstood by even experienced rail workers. An incorrectly lined switch can send a train down the wrong track or cause a derailment. Better track switch signage can help prevent such avoidable accidents.
Switch Cube™ Indicator will fit any manual switch stand but we need to know the details of your switch stand so that we send you a Mounting Platform which conforms to your brand and model.
You can download a Sizing Form here which you can fill out and fax to us,
or we will fax you one upon receipt of your order.

SWITCH CUBE™ Indicator sign plates are highly visible and unambiguous
Switch Cube replaces the clutter of various styles of targets with a uniform set of unambiguous symbols. Can be used on any brand of manual track switch. Four-sided Switch Cube box bolts to switch stand mast. Sign faces tell at a glance how the switch is lined and can be easily seen from 100 feet away.

We offer two options for the sign plate visible from the "frog end" of the switch when the switch is lined for turnout.
view from "frog" end of switch
One option (Double Yellow) is a yellow arrow facing down in the direction that the switch is lined. Traffic is limited to the turnout track.; traffic on the main track must not enter the switch from the frog end. 
The other sign plate option (Red Stop) for the frog end of the switch is the red "Do not enter" sign. Traffic approaching on the main track must not enter the switch from the frog end. Traffic is limited to the turnout..

The customer must decide which of the two options will be most clear to rail yard workers.
