> The second speedup concerns the system used to let trains to switch from one track to another, called a switch or turnout. American turnout geometry is particularly antiquated, and the German geometry we propose is in theory 50% faster, in practice often more than that at major station throats.

Scanned quickly for videos online showing the difference but didn't find anything. I had no idea there would be differences in railway switches.
