Not quite the same thing as the rerailer in the photo, but you may be thinking of the hose bridge, an appliance to enable trolley cars to cross over fire hoses.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_bridge Alan Follett South San Francisco, CA |

Yes, definitely two different things with different functions, but I think the hose bridge may be what Avid Reader was thinking of.Alan Follett South San Francisco, CA |

No. It was a temporary set of rails that would be placed over tracks, raising and curving to the tracks next to it. and allowing the trolley to switch, continue past track work. |

When there was track work, an entirely new and temporary trolley ROW was constructed for a short distance next to the regular tracks that were being worked on.The trolley switched to the temporary shoo-fly trackage, operating past the trackwork, and then switching back on to its regular ROW. |

There was extensive use of shoo-flies for surface cars during open-cut subway construction in Chicago, in the 1930's and 1940's.Alan Follett South San Francisco, CA |
