Was there any device to prevent broad

I would suggest that the lack of rail
would have done the job most effectively.

No, that would have prevented broad gauge trains from *succeeding* in going
the wrong way. It wouldn't have stopped them from attempting and derailing,
if the points on the shared rail were wrongly set.
