It should have read: The yellow paint is indeed intended to mark the fouling point. Track beyond those was bonded and cars left beyond that would trip the signals. The derail might also have been connected to the signals. Those yellow foul markings were helpful unless there was a pile of snow covering them. oops, looks like my PC cut out the text that should have followed yellow paint.

They used a stubby switchstand to operate the device. The yellow paint What I find unusual in this photo is the plow pilot. I don't recall seeing them on on an RS-18. A number of RS-10s had them.

I could be wrong, but there's definitely a derail infront of those switch points. That yellow box, appears to be a CP style slide derail.

What's that small, yellow box thing on the switch points? Great shot. What’s that small, yellow box thing on the switch points?
