Peak Forest Tramway. Sketch drawing showing switch and movable tongue piece (5)

The method of switching from one line to another was extremely crude. The two converging rail ends were brought together and the actual switch was formed by a wedge shaped wrought iron tongue piece which was tied in place by a peg on its underside which dropped into a hole drilled to receive it in the base rail
