・ Anti-derailing Guard Rails prevent train derailment by controlling the horizontal displacement movement of the vehicle due to rocking derailment, especially caused by an earthquake. Mechanism that prevents derailment Anti-Derailing Guard Rails Service time Turned over rails for track maintenance work ① Lateral wheel displacement ③ Lateral wheel displacement ④ Derailment prevention Mechanism of rocking derailment Anti-Derailing Guard Rails Mechanism of Derailment Mechanism and Countermeasure against Derailment during Earthquake
