The Hindi sign is ambigious. I suppose it was intended to match the Malayalam Cherthala. Anyway, since 2006 many of the English names in station signboards in Kerala have been modified to match the Malayalam names.

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.

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.
