332-08 Lift-Out ("Bridge") Rail Clamps fit tightly to the fixed  rail end and provide a cradle to receive the opposing moveable rail end as it drops into position.  A spring pin snaps and brings this moveable rail into alignment. Used on the opposite abutment of a hinged bridge or on both ends of a removeable track section.

 

Several clients in Northern latitudes install their outdoor turnouts and other weather-sensitive sections with 332-08 clamps so that they can be brought inside in winter.
