A turnout uses movable points to direct a train between different routes. A fixed crossing instead allows one track to physically cross another while both routes continue independently through the intersection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrains cannot transfer from one crossing route to the other through ATL2042.
