We used this sort of de-railer in Rhodesia, only the ones we used were set by hand and locked with a great big padlock. Most of Rhodesia was single line working with crossing loops. At some of the sidings there was a storage track where farmers were able to load cattle or other farm goods. The de-railer was to stop wagons from running away and fouling the main line.
