You are correct for 9v. the voltage is applied to whichever direction the
switch is selected to.
My son Martin found out the hard way when he changed one switch, it applied the
voltage, and plowed my 4565 into my newly traded MetroLiner!
You should have seen the look of horror on his face and his scrambling to put it
back together :)

Subject: Track Question
When you create a siding using two switches does the track
not in use become isolated ? this does not work for 12v but I think it
does for 9v because the direction of the switch determines which line
carries the current.
What I want is to have two trains on one track with an isolated part of
the line.
Am I talking rubbish ?
