Nice that you liked it.
Noticed that I did not write what a "snail" is.
It is a lock consisting of a cylinder going through a hole in a rod connected to the rod that changes the point blades (or the derailer in this case). When the derailer (or the point) needs to be used, an electro magnet pulls the cylinder up, unlocking the rods.
This is usually controlled by the dispatcher by putting the station, or parts of it, in shunting mode (lokalt in swedish, meaning "local") but can also be done by a key being turned on location, locking all signals at "stop".
Hmmm... yes, I like the technical stuff on a railroad so much that I read about things that are not my profession. Im not a signal technician.
Yes the
kroppkakor (the blekinge variant) was good and I enjoyed them.
