In my best scratchy staccatto falsetto voice: "There is no why. There is do
and do not."
Ben 'Yoda' Trousdale
If the closure rails are not hardwired to their respective stock rails and
power is supplied by switched by contacts in the switch machine, by electrical
switch when the turnout is thrown manually or by contact of the points with
it's stock rail, then the frog needs only be insulated in the opposing
direction. However the clearance between the open point and it's stock rail
must be sufficient to keep the metal wheels from touching that point.
