N&W Electrification Photo

[NW Mailing List]

 This attached photo of the N&W electrification posted on Ebay raises
several questions such as (1) location? (2) why is there a whistle post
on the diverging line? (3) does the diverging line lead to a tunnel in
the distance? (4) what is the purpose of the guard rail adjacent to the
near running rail in the foreground of the diverging line?  There
appears to be some mechanism on the opposite rail where one would expect
a derail to be located, but why have a guard rail opposite a derail?
