Tracks and cables. click to view Correct me if I'm wrong, so apparently these are called "derails", used to direct trains to the correct track. Tried to operate this while visiting, it was SUPER hard to turn since it was all old and rusty, but it was still usable. Here's another one of those derails, smaller, but easier to use.

Many train derailments happen at switch junctions.
