When passing through a passive switch the axle always adjusts itself according to the continuous stock rail on the side that indicates the direction of the journey. In advance of the passive track switch, the stock rails diverge, allowing the axle to turn left or right. In the event of a malfunction during the steering process, a mechanical directional interlocking makes sure the vehicle is safely guided past the switch. 1, record 2, English, - directional%20interlocking
