The traverser is used not only for moving locos and other vehicles but also loose bogies

First time I've noticed that the traverser has a winch, cable and pulleys for moving vehicles (and bogies)

Also the first time I've noticed how the traverser draws its 3-phase electric power - from overhead cables and pick-ups a bit like a trolley bus
