The use of the WHT button is reserved for rare cases only! Misuse of the button can lead to derailments. '''Ensure that there are no trains physically occupying the switch before throwing it.''' At best, the switch cannot be thrown because the wheels prevent the tongues of the switch from moving. The worst case scenario is that an occupying train will derail, since part of the train is moving through "normal" branch, while another part is moving through the "reverse" branch through the switch.
