Spring loaded points, unlike the conventional manual/motor operated points, get activated by the movement of the loco/rolling stock over these points. The movement of the rail is activated by a spring mechanism, which gets triggered by the wheels of the rolling stock over these points. SECR's NG section on the Jabalpur - Nainpur - Nagpur route use spring loaded points.

Also, this "washing machine" seems capable of cleaning only the roofs of carriages, as there are no brushes to clean the side panels.

This turntable is for turning a motor trolley. You can find bigger turntables for engines also.

Presently only Hillgrove is listed in the timetable between MTP and Coonoor. Still further back there used to be a station Fernhill about 2 km short of Ooty.

There are numerous examples of "identity crisis" such as Washermanpet/Washermenpet where the two varieties have a few signboards each. Then there is old Kanchipuram station where one board reads "Kanchipuram East". And there is the mysterious Sanvordem Curchorem where the timetable and the board differ greatly.
