Commonly called a joggle it is in place. Generally we tend to file the joggle, on the real thing it is generally machines but on that one I think it is more like a bend, if we ever get the chance to visit the Worth Valley Railway again and if it ever re-opens after all the current issues with CV-19 and if I remember I will take a picture much closer.If you are referring to the photo of the 3-way, which (probably due to the long lens) looks to have very short point rail tapers, I still don't see any cut-out in the stock rail. But let's just agree to differ.
