Classification: CPC B | IPC B  H

Claim 12:
13. A method for moving a switch rails, the method comprising:
operatively coupling a motor to the switch rails, wherein the motor is configured to move the switch rails into and between a first position and a second position, and wherein the motor is configured for electricity to flow therethrough along a first path and a second path;
electrically coupling a first path relay within the first path of the motor, wherein the first path relay has two normally open contacts each wherein the first path, and wherein activating the first path relay closes the two normally open contacts thereof; and
electrically coupling a second path relay within the second path of the motor, wherein the second path relay has two normally open contacts each within the second path, and wherein activating the second path relay closes the two normally open contacts thereof;
wherein the motor moves the switch rails towards the first position when the first path relay is activated and the second path relay is deactivated, and wherein the motor moves the switch rails towards the second position when the second path relay is activated and the first path relay is deactivated.
