Ground frame
Ground frame
A ground frame features traditional lever-worked points but it is 'unlocked' for use electrically or with a special key carried by a driver and is therefore a step-up from an ordinary point lever. The loop track at Aberystwyth looks very rusty but it may see occasional use when the locomotive of an excursion train needs to 'run around' its train.
