A turnout allows a train to select between different routes using movable points. This fixed crossing instead allows one track to physically cross another while both routes continue straight through the intersection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrains cannot use ATL2041 to transfer from one crossing route to the other.
