    Definition "device used at a railway turnout [ IATE:1378751 ] to eliminate the gap at the common crossing (a.k.a. frog) which can cause damage and noise" Reference "Wikipedia > Swingnose crossing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swingnose_crossing [1.4.2014]"
    Comment Swingnose crossings virtually eliminate the gap at V-crossings allowing for higher vehicle speeds.The swingnose crossing overcomes the problem of the gap by moving the point of the V-crossing from side to side, synchronised with the selected direction of the turnout. The wheels are supported the entire way on their treads, and do not produce noise and vibration that would otherwise occur.
