    Doesn't seem like a lot of support for a train.

    Well, it is a cogged railway and the loads aren't quite as high. This is a straight to cross over switch, which is probably much easier to do this way than making a regular crossover.

    Imagine a railway in the steep mountains...

    I think this might be the Pilatus Railway in Switzerland.
