Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Points/switches on a railway line
Swedish term or phrase: kontrollinjale
Hello

Does anyone know the right word for this please? I just can't seem to find it.

Växelomläggningsdonen (växeldriven) består i huvudsak av en elektrisk motor, växellåda med friktionskoppling, kontrollkontakter samt kombinerad omläggnings- och låsstång och kontrollinjaler.

it is clearly to check that railway points/switches have been correctly repositioned.

Thanks

PS if you ever thought a train was just a carriage on wheels, think again !!!
