Title: What's this? Post by: bobm on December 30, 2012, 10:30:42 This isn't a quiz question because I don't know the answer.
Saw this in the four foot on the down line immediately after the Royal Albert Bridge and wondered what it was. (http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/saltash2.jpg) (Yes I know - I should stay in more!) Title: Re: What's this? Post by: eightf48544 on December 30, 2012, 10:51:58 Random punt SDO balise?
Title: Re: What's this? Post by: LiskeardRich on December 30, 2012, 13:01:59 Is it an axel counter? put rail axle counter into google images, and they look very similar.
Title: Re: What's this? Post by: IndustryInsider on December 30, 2012, 13:34:04 Looks like a portable AWS magnet to me. Used for TSR's and ESR's. Here's one of them from the catalogue:

Post by: bobm on December 30, 2012, 13:39:26 Thanks II - that would make sense. Looking off the end of the platform as the line curves round towards Liskeard I could see a flashing emergency warning board as shown in one of the pictures below the main one in your link.
Title: Re: What's this? Post by: eightf48544 on December 30, 2012, 16:02:53 Would go with portable AWS magnet, rather than SDO.
Must be a fairly modern one I thought they were bigger and fitted over the sleepers rather than clipped to the rail. Title: Re: What's this? Post by: SandTEngineer on December 30, 2012, 18:32:09 II is correct. Its a portable AWS magnet used for TSRs and ESRs.
