What is this piece of railway equipment called (see photo)?
(OP)
Hi all
I am new to the railway industry and during my site surveys I have come across a piece of equipment numerous times. I have attached a link for the photo.
Heard this being called an axle counter or spider plate, but I am not convinced.
Appreciate the help
Thanks
