Post 3: Fail-Safe Mechanism Improvement

In previous years, there hasn't been a system in place for the fail-safe mechanism in the event of derailments. There are high chances of derailment of the bogie at the turnouts of the track, which would be caused by the wheels falling off of the track due to weight imbalances. After researching about fail-safe mechanisms in other railway systems, the implementation of a claw locking mechanism on the bogie would aim to lock the bogie to the rail in the event of the wheels falling off the track.
