What must be done with debris found in a switch point?

Debris found in a switch point is a critical safety concern in rail operations. It's essential to remove any debris immediately to ensure the safe and proper functioning of the switch. Debris can prevent the switch from operating correctly, which may lead to derailments or other incidents that jeopardize the safety of passengers and crew. By removing the debris right away, potential risks are mitigated, and the switch can operate as intended without obstruction.

In this context, leaving the debris as is, checking after the switch is thrown, or simply reporting it to the engineer would not adequately address the safety issue. Immediate removal is the proactive step necessary to maintain a safe railway environment.
