"Trap Set" - not the most confidence boosting text to read on railway tracks. Dunno why the concerned department had to use the word "TRAP SET" for their works.

The whole track alignment is called a set, can be called a "Switch Set" or a "Trap Set". Trap set is similar to a derailing switch i have found it written as Trap Set/derailing switch in many places. Thats a single rail switched to lead out and make the train derail while the other rail has no switch arrangement.
