>>1481445>>1481427Are the trams' bogies the exact distance apart of the two curved segments of rail?
If you put the forward bogie onto the straight track, then moved the switch and put the rear bogie onto the curving track, it would be possible for the tram to translate from the gauntlet to the separated track (and vice versa) without the carriage body rotating. It would be facing forward the whole way. That might be useful if the clearance was originally extremely narrow and the overhang on the ends of the tram would have hit a wall or something.
