A close up of where all the action takes place on the Diamond at BSL. The main line rail gets cut or grooved by the flanges that pass over it on the low speed rial. (Zubin J Dotivala)

The cut in the rails is huge, the flange probably takes the wheels load when it is on the other track.
You can see the impact point on the LH, but rail on RH has a smaller impact point, probably due to load partially being taken by the flange.
