Already you can see the different factors that go into determining the cost of your tow. There are a few items thatâll be on almost every towing bill. First, youâre probably going to have a base rate, also known as a hook-up fee. This industry standard can range from $20-$75 and just depends on the company.
Wye (rail) In railroad structures, and railroad terminology, a wye (like the 'Y' glyph) also called a triangular junction (by the traditions of some railroad cultures) is a triangular joining arrangement of three rail lines with a railroad switch (set of points) at each corner connecting to each incoming line. A turning wye is a specific case.
Well, Cubsfrea came the closest. The wye track is the most common method. It's a triangular track with three switches. Now this is for turning locomotives since the entire train would be too long. Say you drew a triangle on a piece of paper with one side of the paper marked as east, and the other side as west. The leading end or cab end of the locomotive enters the wye from the east, Then goes to the second switch, then to the third switch on the west, now the locomotive is facing the opposite direction.
