@Bassotronics Every Cog railway I've ever seen had complicated switches. Its due to the rack rail needing to be there as well.

@badgerfan2674 I would like to see you get a car to operate on the grades these things are designed to work on......

theres 10

@badgerfan2674 big negative on both of those things, trains can go just as fast, if not faster. Check out the bullet trains. Also, as for the 9 steps to turn, only on cog tracks like this. Normal rails can be switched with a button.

@NKP514 Oh. Thanks, NKP.
Wish the camcoder had been zoomed to see the more distant details at thend.
I hope to go back up the mountain and will take an HD camcorder to record the switch and more in HD detail.

Wonder what you were confused by. Mostly just a matter of memorizing the steps to do to convert the track by moving parts around. It is amazing.
