Western-Cullen-Hayes manufactures the Model FM Switch Point Guard. The FM is an important cost saving product that will prolong the service life of any type of switch point, and can help prevent derailments caused by wheels "picking" the switch. The FM deflects the rail car wheel away from the relatively fragile point of the switch, thus minimizing the wear that occurs at the point. FM's are available in standard "T" rail sections and can accommodate most styles of gauge plates.
